Coastal Classic

Recommended Posts

Just been checking out the auckland and Brett marine forecasts, and unfortunately they match what I can see out my office window - no wind, none.

Beautiful sun though, and then its gonna swing NE and blow like a bastard tomorrow for the piss up and prize giving at Russell - someone up there is taking the piss...

:angry: :thumbsdown:

Lazy buggers with 4-day wknd!!!

In case you don't know, the coastal classic is a auckland to bay of islands yacht race that started this morning. the record is around seven hours. With a good wind most boats would be here by middle of tomorrow, with the first arriving at dinner tonight, but with crap wind and tomorrows crap weather.... well you figure it out.

Sun is shining at the mo, but water is flat as a pancake. Took the attached pic 25 mins ago whilst on lunch break.

Rain forecast for tomorrow.

As for what I'm smoking... ... ... ... ...

:D

How do you attach a pic - doesn't seem to work for me and I have no hosting space online at present.

For those wondering, the first pic shows Russell on the land in the background, and the second shows the Waitangi flagpole on the headland.

love dem hubcaps lol.

Yeah I know! After some mags, but only had the car two weeks. My mate wants me to clean off the BMW logos, and get them custom painted with silhouette's of well endowed women - I think it might look pretty boss in the meantime, but a little too porn maybe?

Anyway, it is 10pm and the first boats are still between tutukaka and the brett, and some only just leaving the gulf, so looks like we're in for a long race. I have to be at the Coastguard Ops room at 7am tomorrow morn for my radio shift, so going to bed soon.

Hope that the field is well on the way in by then.
