Well that's another one over, & yes I didn't finish,
I ran out of Wipac produced sparks, less than 10 K from the end on the second day.

The motor & boat were flying, 29 mph against an incoming tide, which after I stopped & was drifting in the sun, just left me in one place, without the noise of a screaming Seagull, Perfect!

Now comes the bit I most hate to say.

Thanks all you Kiwi's for the warmth of your welcome & hospitality, as ever you put on a perfect event!

Pictures will follow when I'm home.

The Skinny Pohme Bastard.

Well ChucKy - glad they let you out. Assumed the NZ Seagull Police and the Bermudan CID arrested you for being under 10%.

The acerbic correspondence between you and John Crighton was becoming quite readable . . .

Well, looks like someone should have packed or used one of these?

Charles, once again I see you get very "mouthy" when out of arms reach and back safe in the bosom of Queenie ... you forgot to pay homage to the the Taniwha [river gods] to you lot and so you paid the price ... urinating in the water is not exactly paying homage, Aucklanders have to drink it .. so you really did your best at upsetting as many people as you could .. all to no avail .. you once again left our shores an abject failure.

Well, we're very lucky here, our water comes from large reservoirs which are kept in pristine condition - apart from sheep and rats pissing in it and the fish fornicating day and night.

Don't you fret Crighty - he'll be back . . .

JC, I havn't left yet.

The Icelandic volcano gods are obviously much more powerfull than the Waikato taniwha, & they must want me to stay here long enough to punish you Kiwis for some transgression or other, you must have been very naughty to deserve this much punishment.
