Eyedeens! (eighteens)

The last couple of days I have been sailing Aussie 18's on the cityfront! Boy oh boy has it been some serious fun!... that is till we broke our mast! Oh well. Here are some Pics for your ammusment. (Im the one in the red)

DOH!

Well, went sailing today and had some good practice. Del went out with me and we sailed down the Richmond channel, turned around and sailed upwind. Had very good boat speed on Del, staying ahead of him the entire beat. Then we turned the corner, reached off towards Redrock.....and that's when the real fun started. I was out on the end of the seat and sailed over a wave and that's when I bounced the plank over the top of the thing. I knew something was wrong when the seat bounced up a little TOO high. As soon as Newton's Law of Gravity kicked in, the seat broke! Sailing back in was a great challenge but somehow I managed. It's rather unfortunate though... but what can you do? I'll have to build a new seat. Mmmm carbon work!! Oh joy, oh joy. Until then, I will be sailing the fleet charter boat....

Oh and don't worry, I'll post pictures of the carnage soon.

Some important info - Donation Disclaimer

So I have realized that a few issues regarding donations might arise, so I would like to address them now. First, if I do not make the sufficient funds or for some reason I am not able to go to Australia, all donations will be returned. Second, I also realized that some people might feel a bit uneasy just handing me money, so I am going to set up a bank account that will not be touched for anything other then the trip to Australia - and again, any funds not utilized for this trip will be returned to you - a money back guarantee if you will!
