I think someone is line for a promotion after such a fantastic display of his navigation skills. Well done, sir! Mind you, the rangers are pissed that you didn't pay the entrance fee.
Wednesday Wipeout.
It always pays to have a camera with you.
Brilliant sailing moments like the one above are preserved for eternity. Well done, chaps!

Wednesday Wipeout.

Via Scuttlebutt:
Day 1 at Etchells Australian Nationals: Raymond Smith’s St John’s Dance was well placed midway through the final downwind leg when the boat lost control on a wave, broached wildly and snapped the spinnaker pole. Now totally out of control, the spinnaker pulled the yacht down sideways, it filled with water and slowly, painfully slowly, sank to the bottom, leaving just the top half of the mast visible. All three crew emerged unscathed, but the yacht will spend the night on the bottom of Cockburn Sound, forcing a day’s rest on the crew, and effectively snuffing out any chance they had at the national title.

Determined To Sail.
Hold the fort, Joe. These guys look like they are determined to surf.
Wait, I thought there were signs of intelligence on planet Earth.
