Lots of people obviously have had secret yearnings to be pop stars because there was no holding back on the costumes on Friday Night. Cindy Lauper and Rod Stewart rocked all night, are we really sure who Gene Simmons was - I can't believe that it was the person they told me it was......surely not that quiet, well mannered curly haired.....no....I don't believe it at all! |
| The Go Go Girls shimmered all night and were very Spicy at one stage, Ricky Martin had women tearing his clothes off, Marvin Gaye made a spectacular appearance with his Chardonnays and our all time favourites Abba were as bright as ever. Mick Jagger went home with Tina Turner and the Beach Boys were last seen surfing off into the horizon. Freddie Mercury was trying his luck with Dolly Parton but she was far to busy directing the show. Tim Finn and his Go Go Boys sank eventually - too much beer on board I think. |

WIND FORECAST SITE
The Webmaster has been supporting the Wind.co.nz
site which is in the Menu. This is an update on the development of that
site.
First, I big thank you for partaking in the
survey, I know that most people hate doing these online things so I am
truly grateful for the effort and time you put in...thanks.
The good news is that with your support, and with the deal that I have
secured with the Metservice, we will be coming back bigger,
brighter and better.
With their support, Wind.co.nz will be
able to utilise some of the amazing wind forecast models developed by Metservice
for the Americas Cup racing.
This means that the forecasted wind information can be delivered more
often and best of all, more accurate!
It also means that Wind.co.nz can have
more wind sensors from around the country. We will
be able to cover the entire Wellington region including the top of the
South Island (e.g. Brother Islands) up to Castle point AND some of the
greater Auckland/Northland region. This should give the site the coverage
and support it needs to grow to be the best wind providing site around.
I am currently negotiating with the web developer on the structure of the
site and finalising (still) how it will all bolt together....it has to be
right but the delay means that the site may not be functioning until Xmas
or just after.
I¹ll be in touch again soon with the next update.

Weekend at Foxton Beach
Team Worser
Bay Sunbursts showed up in force on the second day of the Horowhenua
Regatta.
Race 3: Worser Bay 1,2,3,4,5
Race 4: Worser Bay 1,2,3,5,6
Race 5: Worser Bay 1,2
Dean Stanley showed us all how to read the river, and Chinook
939 had a particularly good weekend too. Very strong currents and a
narrow channel with light winds was different sailing environment from
Worser Bay.
Country Yacht club regattas are very enjoyable. The Manuatu Marine Boating
Club at Foxton Beach were very hospitable and friendly and were very
pleased to see us. Sunburst
