Thanks for a great day. It was interesting to put faces to names and to see the boats come through the channel. They looked great.

Hope that Greg didn't need a tow on the way back. Hope that all arrived home safely.

I have some photos on film and will get them developed and get them to people.

Cheers
Megan and Peter sneddon

What a top day! And now that I have been pulled over for speeding on the Yarra I reckon my hoon profile is complete :lol:

Thanks all for a great day. Two big rivers in a day meant a lot of k's.

Nick - don't be so cocky, I am in the hoon category as well, so there. Fancy being scolded by a cop young enough to be my grandson, on a jet ski, for doing what must have been 20 kph! Ohhh, the indignity!

Pete, great to see you and Megan again. That quick blip in the lagoon on departure from Edgewater got the water coursing through both banks and the engine remained at about 150 for the rest of the trip.

You've got to love the boat ramp at the warmies. I think I might go down there one day at peak hour and just sit and watch. It would be real cheap entertainment, that's for sure.

Great day, thanks to all, would like to think the hi speed potential of the little boat that attracted the man in uniform, but he was probably just attracted by that hoon in the Jet. I think that makes it one all, frozen one day broiled the next.

As with the others, a first at being chastised by a cop on a jetski for speeding. At least i know it goes that fast! Greg and Alan did their best pilot whale impersonations by running aground similtaniously, (i must have missed doing the same thing by millimeters) Was great fun (NOT) dodging kyakers up near Edgewater, but apart from those minor things twas a great day. Thanks to everyone for a briiliant day

And as for the PWC cop, my gps read 6.0mph, i dont know how he thought we were way faster than 10..
