To windward of you! | Hi All,
Lake Bonney Y.C. Opening Regatta is on again to be held on the long weekend (well is in SA anyway) of the 2nd and 3rd of October. This is also including the revived SA traveller series on the saturday races.
Saturday will be:
1pm official opening
1:30 races 1 and 2 back to back
6:30 club tea all welcome (good food and excellent pricing)
Sunday
9:30am race 3
12:00pm race 4
Presentation to follow last race.
All and everything is welcome to come would be good to get a decent turn up. We again have got water back, plenty to sail on.
Hope to see some of you there..

Fulham S.Aust | I'm going to try and come up for the Sat ( hopefully I'm not working ),as I have never sailed on fresh water it will be quite an experience for me. I am attempting to remove the front beams on the boat next week as I have a minor leak  . If this goes well I will be there.
Saw it on a cartoon once.....I'm pretty sure I can do it

To windward of you! | HI Tony, would be good to see you up there for the saturday at least. peoples thoughts on lake sailing vary but i certainly enjoy it, hopefully should get some breeze and always flat water so thats always fun. good luck with the beams!!
Anyone else from adel (or elsewhere) coming up?? Would be good to get a decent turn up we would love to see a decent fleet back at the club again. its not that far from adel even over that hill some of you dont like getting over..lol. i do it every weekend its an easy drive..

Kingston SE South Australia | We should have enough boats for a race I'll be there, Johnny's coming on his A, his mate on another, you guys and the normal crew that sail there. Any time I chase Darryn it's a race. I went to the Narrows this week and theres a strong current with plenty of water

Kingston SE South Australia | I'm going to Milang and staying there the weekend, my plan is to stay there Friday night and be sailing from around 11am on Saturday, I've got Mark the Stingray sailer from our club as crew on Saturday then Liz is coming down on Sunday so if anyone wants experienced crew for Sunday he's available. Johnny and his mate are staying down as well so we'll be racing in some fashion. The weather report says both Lake Bonney and Milang are getting wind and some sunshine.

Once upon a time there was a forum topic for the Opening at Barmera and the Mossie Traveller series.
And then along came ...... (careful not to offend anyone) and totally stole away the subject, all interesting but so is the fact that there are lots of trafic lights between here and there and that ...... well and the others going to Milang,
Anyway, for what it is worth, to the SA State Mossie guys, sorry won't be able to be at Barmera for Opening day, work has again got in the way and then again for the second of the traveller series I will be overseas...until Mid/late November and loving it
I hope you all have a great weekend and would much rather be there than here...and I do hope the boats with spinnakers use them, I would have just for fun, and they are so much fun.

Where is the harm David? Its a forum for discussing things. You could have steered it back on track without going off at people. cheers, Darryn | | | Re: Lake Bonney YC Opening/ SA traveller series!

Barmera SA | Actually, sometimes going off topic isn't all that bad - it keeps the thread right on top of all the others!
For all those travelling from South of Adelaide, my preference route is via Monarto then either Mannum / Walkers Flat, or Sedan / Cambrai. No traffic lights from freeway, and the roads are very reasonable. For what it's worth, the Murray Bridge / Karoonda / Loxton road is not only longer, but worse for towing.
Hope to see as many of you up here as possible for this first and only country leg of the traveller series.
Cheers

Lake Bonney, SA | Darryn and all,
No harm, I was just taking it back to the top so was just having fun too...after all it is just sailing and supposed to be fun, so please no-one take offence, just a twisted sense of humour.
As for the travelling thing, our prefernce from home to Barmera is up thro' Woodside, Mt Pleasant, Cambrai, Sedan abd then Blanchetown and onwards. We do it this way most weekends and must admit tho' that Sedan intersection can be busy on a Saturday night...the pub is on the corner.
Wherever you all sail on the long weekend, enjoy it...and do have some pity for me here at work.
To both Peter and Steve, please do use your spinnakers and will be back sailing when I get home from OS mid Nov.
David
