Hi Michael

Mooloolaba series details here: www.sailmooloolaba.yachting.org.au/. I'm planning on going, so trying to convince other full rigs to make the trip.

It looks like Peter Fell Chris Connell and myself from BSS are going to Moolloolaba for a big weekend of sailing. Apparently Jessica Watson is also going along to meet us!

Tony - any more news of any RQYS starters?

Today - Wednesday 26 is last day for entries - unless you want to be a late entry.
cheers
Michael

Good luck in Moolloolaba on the weekend guys.

Anyone keen for a Sat sail at BSS on the 12th or 19th...?

Cheers
Mark

Not a lot of interest for Mooloolaba from RQ I'm afraid. All the young hotshots have some training camp or other at Noosa and most of the old blokes have convenient excuses - mine is something to do with kids and soccer. Looks like Disco Darren will be there though, flying the RQ burgee.

Seems to be a friendly forecast, so have fun. See you all at RQ for Chillfest on June 19/20?
