No photos, yet. Started as a bit of a race. One outboard was OK, the next wasnt pumping water, and we did a last-minute resurection on the third. This was followed by a mad race out to Matakana to make the race start. We made a good run off the start line, soaking Constables Buick and Blair (in the Police raft) and Haughey (on the wharf). That water cannon worked well. It was a last minute idea that was robbed of a tar sprayer specially for the event. I think it accounted for the soaking of about 8 crews and the death of about 10 outboards!!! We were last around the turning point and raced back, only to lose an outboard over the side, when the clamp broke. The other one (the good one) stopped pumping water and overheated the rest of the way, dieing as the skip crossed the finish line!!! The Matakana Volunteer Fire Brigade were marking the finish line by dousing the boats in water as they crossed! Bastards!!! I didnt get egged till the finish line, and flour bombs were badly aimed. The rotten offal from the Wharehine team wasnt, tho, and it was re-thrown at spectators as we crossed the finish line. The after-match at Matakana House was a great end to a great day!!

Low. The team from Matakana Country Park were disqualified for: -Hurling horse schitt and -Using an ancient Evinrude!!! The surf club team had a water cannon and put their motros out then swamped their boat, then rescued them, on condition that they pay for the after-match grog!!!
