Ok, so a lot of time has passed since my last entry - and i'll be sure to keep on top of it, because given the gap in updates.. there's a lot missing..
Ok, so i did my first avon descent as a racer - and managed to pull off some awesome picture opportunities.. but crashed it in the drink and managed to hydrolock my motor.. which put me out anyhow... then on day 2, failed to make the checkpoint and got pulled at donnegan's crossing..
Was pretty disappointing, but what can you expect when you havent got a deckie that's able to train and prop test a week before.. just have to make do with what you can do - and our lack of training showed up quickly and eliminated us..
All the pics are up on facebook.. just search " Avon Descent " - we're #234.. with the ' urban camo ' colour scheme..
Just have to get out into the shed now, and motivate myself to repair this thoroughly thrashed boat.. *sighs*
