I agree with the idiots on jetskis...it seems they wait for us to come down before they kicked off! Let us not forget the gin palace crew who decide to take their mate waterskiing off the back of their little tender as we sailed back home....

You also for the friendly Hamble river fishermen, he really thought he stood a chance against 45 Blaze sailors......(tw@t slashed my launching trolley tyre though along with several other....I think the Harbour Master wants words with him now though).

Oh well....sailing was ok though nice little sea breeze, a few more knots would have been good though!

But what about the idiots?  Or have they all been banished to Brisbane where they drive their jet skis up and down the brisbane river all day?

We only have 1 type of trolley

No killer mud, laminated sails take care of any risidual mud anyway

Much as I hate to drag up older posts can I confirm that this is simply a claim to having better beers in Aus than fosters and not a claim that Aus beer is better than British beer.  The only nation whom I would tolerate, if not agree with, making such a claim is Belgium!

I didn't read Skiffe's post as a claim that Australian beer's better than British. I thought he meant that there are better beers than Fosters! Not difficult to believe... Would you suffer from post-St George's day syndrome, tack'ho??   Wink

Thats what I meant. Not that aussie beer is better than....

But there are better beers in australia. We even make our own Stellas under licence.
