2006 Gladstone Antics – Chapter 2

The cry is out for photos and other various forms of evidence to embarrass some and humour most regarding the carry on and general misbehaviour of the 2006 Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race competitors.

Once the crew vacates the safety of the yacht they gather momentum for the tiring hike to the bar and it’s at this time when not only thirst, but excitement sets in and a sailor transforms from a respectable member of society and emerges as a wind blown salt infested grooty yachtie. They can not be held responsible for their actions because there is a continual and everlasting amount of encouragement from others to skull that third jug of icy liquid heaven. One must quench thy thirst on completion of a mammoth yachting adventure!

Now I am a believer of “what happens on tour stays on tour”, however a certain message was brought to my attention that totally sums up the event in just 52 seconds. The ever regrettable phone message one makes at 5:15am the morning after winning Line Honours of a significant event after 8 long and sweaty days of frantic preparation.

For the moment I will leave you with just this message, for I feel photos are no longer necessary to showcase the antics this of event… for the time being anyway…!
