Hi Darryl,

you do realise my tongue was planted firmly in my cheek.

The biggest worry about sailing in S.A. is the Noah's.
I love long distance races, years ago I did a Kangaroo Island crossing race on sailboards, thankfuly the great whites spit out West Australians, I didn't tell them I was From Vic. originaly.

But seriously, as much as I love long distance races, I would rather come over for a couple of round the bouys races over a couple of days. The problem with the long distance races is bad weather, gear failure, and you waste alot of travel, with multiple races over multiple days you have a better chance of getting at least one good sail.

Mind you I have always wanted to do a Milang Goolwa, since meeting those friendly big multi sailors from down there at Southern Ocean Multihull Regatta.

Regards Gary.
