Brisbane to Keppel 2018

[LB 15]

So does the race go through a gate at Keppel and continue on, or straight to hammo? Does this mean that Showtime is the perpetual holder of the most prestigious trophy in Qld yachting 3rd PHS Div 1?

3rd PHS Div 2 is the big one. But who knows what the fuck is going on. The club appears to be making it up as they go along. Like publishing the start date as being the Saturday then doing a huge back flip when it was pointed out that that won't work and then claiming they had made a mistake - We members have only been told that there will be two races starting at the same time but apparently at the gala launch at Hammo they were told there will be a gate. It is important that the big boats that have no interest in stopping at Keppel and supporting the sponsor or the local businesses can still get to win all the trophy's.

Only the first did. But without a deep water Marina and Sailorgirl there to interview  them the big boats won’t want to go there. Do you think a Hammo will want another island working their corner? Everyone will have to choose a side. A Keppel Race week the same time as Hammo? That this could be fun...

LB 15, I think it was two years with SH in charge, but it was such a long time ago I may be mistaken.

Trust me it was only once when finished at the island. I have done every race.

 

[trt131]

I haven't done every race but I did the first ten and I have distinct memories of the hi-jinks on the island.  A bottle on it?

$1000 000 000 if you like. Only the first race finished at the island. You know I was on the race organising committee from the beginning until a few years ago and was chairman for 4 years? Ring SH. They have phones in NZ now I think.

LB,

There is only one reason that the Lota game fishing and fight club are having a race to hamo. That is to help out there own  BJ crew to collect the silverware. Afterall when you are in a corporate / Royle box  you don’t want to deal with the common riff raff when collecting your silverware at any bush club. I understand that the club is also building a new pool room to put all of BJ’s silverware. in. It’s like the Oatie’s have hamo yacht club for Oat’s as their pool room and the fight club needs to do one better.

Well you can't expose the so called elites to the violence you find at those country race finishes.

LB 15, I have had a chance to check old race documents and you are absolutely correct, thats another bottle I owe you.

LB 

The jungle drums and beating and is it true what they are saying about the new races in the pipe line ? 

The Boxing Day  Sydney to Hamo via Hobart race  - a pit stop in Hobart to have James pick up the crayfish and oysters and to restock up on a few bottles of Don Perry Oatlie. 

Or you could do The Pittwater to Hayman Island with a wave to the Coffs finish Boat as you sail by. - BJ’s owner only just found out he needs to own a Island to play in the main game in 100 footers in oz. 

The Sydney to Gold Coast Race is now the Sydney to RQYS so the trophies don’t need to even be taken out of the Pool room for prize giving. 

and the

Brisbane to Gladstone is now the Brisbane to Brisbane - because 100 footers don’t hang around Gladstone with all the common people.

No worries. I checked through old bank statements.

As someone who grew up in Gladstone, I wouldn't necessarily begrudge them that.   Not having someone hang around for the silverware though...

Your brave LB. I learnt early in married life to burn mine immediately upon receipt, exacerbated by the zany belief some cunt in the bank mailroom sprinkled my envelopes with perfume.

My wife was way ahead of AIS, trackers or even ‘find my iphone’. For years she would monitor my progress along this vast coastline but watching the credit card statements. ‘Look he is in Eden/Makay/ Coffs Harbour’. Some things were paid for in cash of course...

 

[Livia]

What, bail for the bowman!

 

[LB 15]

Kings Cross?

Only in Bars at inappropriate hours. Never was much interested in losing my amateur status particularly not with some scagged out tattooed street whore with a complexion like wet newspaper. God there were some sights to be seen up the cross in days of old. Very differant now.

IIRC Dog had to cash a cheque for that one.

however as the money behind the redevelopment is from a virtual currency, maybe it will be a virtual resort and the B2K will become a virtual race which Randum can sail in from the comfort of his trolls den.

The crypto currency crowd have been beavering away in Puerto Rico post Hurrican Maria. They are an odd crowd sort of cross between skateboarders, gamers and middle aged dot com wealthy types.

Kepple owner probably now enroute to this crypto conference

I think that crypto currency deal just tanked.

 

[Livia]

Funnily enough it has all gone really quite.

No chance of a surprise announcement at Opening Day tomorrow I guess.

 

[jack_sparrow]

If Crypto currency is off the map... how about buying the island with weed?

 

[Livia]

Starting the hear rumbles about a showdown between the  boat owners and the flag officers at the Lota Fishing and Fighting Club on this one in coming weeks.

The real legal fights from the Rumble in Rocky now starting.

Witness lists will be interesting.
