Well, back home in sleepy old Adelaide, having survived yet another great pissy run through the Rocks, and the following day's BBQ and sail on Sydney Harbour.
Mind you the liver has been twitching more than a beanie's butt in a Bangkok brothel .......must have had a beer or two too many....or maybe it was the butterscotch schnapps and Baileys in the Lowenbrau.... ...naaaah.....couldn't have been; that was mother's milk ....Charlie told the bartender he was after a cocksucking cowboy, and that's what we got..... ...I drank mine while Charlie went looking for the cowboy...
The run was a great day. Had a nice meal at the Lord Nelson, and a beaut Vili's pie at the pub up the road for desert.....scrumptious! It was terrific catching up with the usual old reprobates, plus a few new faces. Weyling and Ned didn't end up in the slammer, so I obviously looked after them OK.
Rhonda enjoyed it, and I didn't grope anyone (that I remember)....unlike some of the old casanovas....so I didn't get in too much shit...
My daughter Sarah and her boyfriend Evan enjoyed themselves, and they may be inclined to try for another sail on the MOBI YN when they come up to Sydney again sometime.
The sail on the harbour was great as usual, and even had a chance to steer the old girl ....now that might have been a little erratic at first, but did manage to get it down to a short harmonic sway towards the end. No real dramas except for having to kick the donk into full speed ahead to avoid having some wanker in a racing skiff run into the side of the boat. I thought I'd cut between him and the skiff in front of him nicely....would have been fine if he hadn't upped his speed. He must have missed the dinghy by a few centimetres, so I don't know what he was so indignant about....
Thanks Rick and Dave for spending your Sunday showing us around the harbour. And thanks to everyone else for making it a great weekend.

It was good to see you there with your family Tafmo, and we all noted that you were quite subdued with them around.....................
We also all commented that Sarah was so lucky in gaining her Mum's looks.

Looks like another couple of starters for next year. Harry Harman and Bob Wilson from my intake.
Soon we'll be able to call it The Chippies' Rocks Run!

Last call for photos, Guys and Girls, I've got 30 from Col, I've got 10, (plus some videos,)
which I'm going to put together into a 'Smilebox' creation... but I can use a few more...
Particularly looking for pics from the Basin Trials and the BBQ/ Cruise if you've got 'em...
If you took pics over that weekend, sent your best 10 to roman27@tpg.com.au and I'll
add them to the album...

My "best" ten were taken by CJ!!!!! You know what I mean CJ. Not good enough for general distribution.
