If that doesnt work just Google Bendigo yacht Club
From my perspective, it was a great weekend, PLENTY of wind on Saturday followed by 1 light race Sunday morning. 17 Mossies turned up in all, with Mick and Sarah taking the home ground advantage. They were untouchable in the big winds on Saturday. 4 Spinnaker boats were dotted through the results which looks to be a good prelude to the states at the Cat Champs.
I did better than expected with Eliza my new crew at her first regatta and getting used to using the Spi - we both made some good errors. My most noticable - The first was lacing the Spi halyard into the Jib / bridle, couldnt work out why the thing wouldnt go up <img src="<>/whistle.gif" alt="whistle" title="whistle" height="15" width="15" /> - and the first rounding of the gate mark, My sincerest apologies to the new Mossie sailor I shoved out of the way <img src="<>/blush.gif" alt="blush" title="blush" height="15" width="15" />
Plenty of well tired people Saturday night (I for one had to bow out by 10:00pm). It will be on my list for next year - Just need to get the wind to change further to the south so we can get a course that the spectators can see.
Well done Bendigo Yacht Club <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />

Yup. Saturday was a blast. Lots of wind with big gusts and flat water. Mick's sloop was literally smoking to windward - that's what it looked like.
Had a great tussle with Ewan in the first race. He just crossed the line half a boatlength ahead for 2nd place.
The lake was great. I've never seen it full like that.
