Thanks Dog fish for you imput~ I thought that our Wet Wayne , guardian of Lake O. was quite good!!!!
However , on reflection ~as with your current kart speed, "Mako" is even more quite GOOD. Time will tell ,
but if we say it often enough it should stick, just like Orca.
cheers and thanks,
hope I'll catch you and Jenny (da Lovelly Ones) at the Ponds Sunday,
Orca

Hi Hot Dogfish

I gotta agree that MAKO has a nice ring to it. Sounds more sporting too!  The sail looks like a fin. MAKO was looking pretty good in the race results until had had to withdraw on Sunday.  This will make him all the more keen for the Worlds, coz he knows he’s in with a chance!

Who better than a MAKO to lead the charge of TEAM ABC?

ORCA - Next you’ll be hyphenating your sailing name. Or is it Wet Dave Bush-Orca already.  Doesn’t help the call for Starboard rights – we need to keep it short, and in Hot Dogs case LOUD!

To all would be fish, a reminder that “TOTAL IMMERSION” is the qualifying criteria for entry to this exclusive club! Come to think of it I’ve done that at Karioitahi!

Cheers

Zorro aka CUDA.

Hi Zorro

Maybe you could make a rule that people with fishy names should wear life jackets!

Actually when I went for my swim at Kariotahi an automatic inflatable device attached to the back frame would have great – could have surfed in on the wave!

Auckland Club 90 mile beach trip

smokin' blokarter 27 August 2008 09:46
The trip is on the 21, 22, 23 November, (Friday Saturday Sunday). Low tide Friday is about 11.30, therefore sailing midday through until 4pm. Saturday 10.30 - 4.30, Sunday 10 - 2 and then the trip home. A few are planning on being up there Thursday night to make the most of Friday.
Depending on the wind we can use either coast. We make that decision on the day. This is a fantastic beach for sailing, wide and hard sand. The big storms from last month removed the concrete ramp we use for beach access but it should be replaced by the time we get there.
Same format as in the past - lots of different sailing but mostly about having lots of fun. All handicap based to keep everyone in the mix for prizes. Hopefully a long race to Ahipara and back (about 30 km) if the wind is kind, self handicap, relay, lolly scramble, chocolate fish race, others as wind permits. Overall winner based on Friday and Saturday sailing to be announced at dinner on Saturday night. The judges decision is final but bribes are ok during the event!
Friday night is a barbeque, bring own meat and salad or desert to share. This is very much a tradition of the ABC trips. Saturday night will be spit roast dinner with an entertaining night, details to follow.
I need confirmation from anyone who is planning on being there who had not rebooked cabins immediately after the last event. Most are going again but there are a few cabins left. At this stage I have booked out most of the camp to let me know so I can allocate a cabin. It's a Top 10 so a good standard with great wash down facilities, just grab the fire hose... oh that's right we're not allowed to do that!
Let me know if you want to book. First in gets the accommodation otherwise bring a tent.
