Thought so much of Johnnie and Dana yesterday, as we went to the Brisbane International Boat show at the Exhibition Centre. It was awesome, huge and very spectacular..(you guys better come and see it next year - you will have a place to stay - always), but was probably about three or four times the size of the Cape Town show. Ian and I entered a competition to raise a sail using one of those Yacht crank thingies they use of the America's Cup boats. Our time was 6.5 seconds and that was not too far outside the winning time (for a prise of $ 500). Had Ian's hand not come off the one crank (so I had to do it on my own) we may very well have taken out the days prise....(in our dreams). Anyway, Leon was very restrained and had to be dragged away. We boys decided if we wanted to stay married , we had better not reach for the credit card and do the unthinkable - but it was very tempting. I'm proud of you Leon - mate.....
