For the sake of the poor people of Sydney I suppose I'll have to stay the extra day
to keep a baleful eye on you lot.

Trip to Manly on the ferry on Sunday sounds good. We might join you for that.

Just a small point, Rick, re the photos you have posted of the yacht launching, I think the second one is of the Mobi being lifted out of the water prior to going back to Nirimba for a refit. That was in early '67 I believe.

After the last runs cock up at Jacksons on Georgs, Mobes suggested we start off this years Saturday warming flashes at, Mecca Expresson, around the corner in Alfred Street, Circular Quay.
Any thoughts/comments?
Cheers.

I'm certainly with Pussa on changing the start venue. That shitfight at Jacksons was once too many, and they've been going downhill for a while. :sad3:

Given that it's a Saturday, surely there's something open around the Quay - or even the Rocks? :dontknow:

I agree, and perhaps someone (a Sydney-sider) could visit the Quay on a Saturday morning (or even a weekday) and check out those venues close to The Rocks,
who are open from around 9:30 - 10:00AM Saturdays with a breakfast menu... :drink eat: (and maybe, for those seeking a hair of the :grommit: a liquor licence...) :tchin:


Bear in mind, that whilst discussions with the Cook at Jackson's on George arrived at the point that if we required them to open early for, say, 20 egg 'n' bacon rolls,
then with notice, they would, nevertheless, said egg 'n' bacon rolls were absolute :shit: so a change of venue is fine with me... :yes:
