It was a great wind today but I didn't get out there. Tomorrow if the SW winds stay up we should head for Kariotahi after lunch. Low tide at 4 pm so should be ok after about 1.30. Will update with email or OPTN.
Good night for prize giving last night. Besides the winter series prizes there was a few others given out along with lucky draws of windindicators, helmet, mast protectors, tyres, mast bag and the 1 metre photos of the 70 blokarts lined up at Blokart Heaven at the NZ open, kindly donated by Tony. The other winners were:
Most improved under 85 kg – Graham
Most improved over 85 kg – Wayne O
Best mishap – Dave Bush for ending up in the lake
Outstanding performance – Haydn, winning champion of champions trophy at NZ Open
Winner of quiz: Table 2.
It must be noted that there were a few mistakes on the 2 blokart sections, a bit of a worry really, but most did very well on nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Puts it all into perspective really.
There were many winners from the partners of the competitive blokarters which is leading up well to the partners "give it a go" day next Sunday 10th being run by Marg and Jenny. Guys welcome to participate in barbeque, drink, and the park golf competition. You are allowed to help the ladies with set up, repairs, tyre changes and putting the blokart away, otherwise over to the blokart girls.
Update on tomorrow to follow.

Blokarters from the Bay Club are heading up to Tairua tomorrow to catch the
12 midday low tide, for a look-see. Westerly winds are forecasted and it is a huge sailable area from 9am to 4pm.
