Narrandera 2011

[bootlegger]

I'm all loaded up and ready to go. Hopefully I won't have any dramas.

If there is anyone still at home and reading the BB - I'm at work today, will load up and be away about 6:00 pm. Should be at the caravan park I guess before midnight.

Looking forward to the weekend & better weather this year.

Have been pumpinmg water into Rebound the past 3 days and its sealing up well. Amazing how it takes up!

I had to work this morning, was expecting to have to work until 1pm or thereabouts but the job has fallen through! Nursing a mild hangover thanks to chivs supplying me with yet another bottle of bourbon for christmas, which naturally he helped me consume. Last I saw of him he was heading back to bed. See you all up there this arvo! Thanks for packing my heads Neil, Dave are you still bringing the sill moldings? Cheers, Jon.

Thanks to all who came along to make yet another great Narrandera weekend.
We had the lot. 23 boats - runabouts, skiffs, hydros, made up from carvels, weatherboards and butterboxes.

Hi all, Carol and I made it home safe and sound. Just want to say what a great weekend we had and express our thanks to all those who put together such a great event. Many thanks to everyone that took us for rides or let us drive their pride and joys (Carol still cant get the smile off her face from driving Ricshaw, she's aiming for the Sting or Rebound next year and i'm still deaf in my right ear from Alfalfa). Thanks for the tow Chris, at least i wasn't the only one that did the walk of shame this year (towed past the cheering crowd with the bonnet up!) I may need traction from spending Sat night in a tent on a blowup mattress but by God it was worth it. Again thanks all. Ray

I might just add a few photos of Ray's Al Falfa experience, fancy waiting 12 months to take her for a spin Ray!!

put that black thing on there, push the button, feather the throttle, pull the black thing off to stop her Ray

How am I going to tell Carol I'm going into skiffs in a big way?

Hi All,
Made it home OK. Awesome weekend once again!
I'm very sore (thanks to the wakeboarding muscles that I use once every 6 months), very tired and very satisfied. Despite my best efforts (and Dave's ), Mystress didn't fail after being thrashed all weekend!
Many thanks to those who organized.
I have HEAPS of photos to post.
I'll post up small ones sometime in the next couple of days and if anyone wants hi res copies I'll put them up on photobucket.

Back soon.

Cheers!

Neil

Here is the video of our event shown on Prime TV last night. I'll link this in from the website when I get back home.

Sorry about the commentary - I was caught on the hop.

Everyone hates the sound of their own voice Greg, but you sounded just fine. If you like, give them my number for next year, and tell them to ring me at around midnight on the saturday for an interview. Maybe I could create a new position on the committee...media liaison representative!!! At least that would divert me from challenging all the other positions on the committee
