A belated thanks to Terry for the great hospitality at the wind-down do last Sunday.

Great time, great food and great company :cheers:

Those of us there were talking and think it would be a good idea to meet up to do something once a month.

Any ideas out there.

I'll start the ball rolling by offering a trip down to Kao Sam Roi Yod on our 70 ft passenger boat, the Peacock.

Great idea! I'm up for it - we don't have to paddle do we? :shock: :thumb: :cheers:

A serious observation. If you folks have the grit, set up a hard practice every two weeks from now until the next regatta. Then, watch the rolling eyeballs of all/most of those crews who beat you this year as they eat your wake. Get you fit and healthy at the same time. Pete :cheers:

yehright....

Have you SEEN the opposition - let alone paddled against them.

We will be back next year and for sure we can do better.

I for one would like to be able to get some improvement - bit let's please remain realistic.

I want to just win our first race, this time. The word on the riverside was that we hadn't even finished! :roll: :shock: That is what friends of mine were told when they came later & asked about us. Just win the first heat, that's what I want for next year! :thumb: Anything else is a bonus! :cheers:

Practising would be a good idea and a nice way to spend Sunday afternoons. However, we don't have a boat. This one Barry rented and I'm not sure how much that would cost if we rented one for the whole year. Buy one, you might suggest - the cheapest ones cost 300,000 Baht. Anybody to sponsor a boat for us?
