Today we started in the dark, there was no power until after briefing which they managed surprisingly well. They have set a short AAT to the South and East for all classes due to concerns about storms developing to the North. There is a lot of chat on the radio trying to pick the best start times. (Tasks are 2 hours 30 mins for Open and 18m and 2 hours 15 mins for 15m).
Allan Barnes and Dave Hollbrook are inbound from the North and feeding us weather info as they drive.
Yesterday many people took the opportunity of a rest day to take the shuttle bus to the Freo river for a float.  They provided inflatable tyres for the people and a modified one for the esky. Afterwards there was free food and live entertainment.
