Well that was the whole bottle of awesome sauce with a few catering packs thrown in for good measure. At least it was going to be, until Stretch turned up and killed it. And blimey, say what you like about the fella, some of it may even be bordering on pleasant, but when Stretch turns up to kill off a breeze, the breeze ends up more dead than your average tombstone.

To make sure things stayed that way Slugger turned up with his Italian Stallion Love Van. Impressive sets of matching manchester and curtains inside, along with random silver buckles, chains and leather belts to "tie down his gear" and soft pillows everywhere and I think you get the idea.I was keen to escape, so Party Barge KaRace 9.4 and FangyFin 20 hit the water and went nowhere except down. That was until at last, the death of all breeze, swept away in a flurry of dead gum leaves back to the Dark Tower at Hardenup.

All of sudden the Barge started moving and I enjoyed some sweet moments of movement. In fact, the wind filled in so much that Slugger, who until this point had been inextricably tangled up in all the handcuff paraphernalia in the back of the love van, came bounding out and set about ruining every speed run, nauti and alpha I attempted.

Despite his best efforts, for once, he was toast in the face of the Barge. And having left him looking like a piece charcoal. I called it day to get home and feed the usual crowd that turn up for a feed whenever it's an epic day for sailing. Despite my huge amounts of win today, probably not quite a top ten effort, but hopefully someone else backed me up to make it worthwhile :-)

I hate autumn 😡 Was definitely a desperation run up to Fangy's. I thought this might be my monthly wind, but was not to be. Lachy and I arrived to find Slugger and Fangy testing out Slugs new Party Van. Lachy, don't look! 👀 Not all bad though, I did get to test ride the awe inspiring party barge complete with a sail better suited to an Americas Cup entrant. I still hate autumn 😪

Stretch, I have spent the morning running the Barge though the Truck Wash to try and restore it, but I fear the Barge has given up. I could hear it quietly sobbing in the trailer all last night.

Slugger, liquorice sticks don't count as whips. Foot in mouth
