Well what can I say, another great Mayhem weekend (rain what rain) great to meet up with old friends again, and make some new ones. The BBQ evenings were the best yet, for next year I will be brewing something up for our friends from Glasgow (who once again kept us amused.....and hung over---we'll get you

)
Took a little while to dry things out at home, but all done in rapid time, because (you're gonna love this) had to go to workshop as Stephanie wants to build her own straight runner (I think she is taking this scoring more than me way too far

) well we have the keel and bulkheads done, all stringers on, prop shaft made, engine mounts made and motor lined up, and its only Tues........watch out next year

So I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did (to old for running around the pond Stav

) Congratulations to Martin and family (I do like my tea) and a big thank you to all at the Wicksteed club for letting us come along and cause....well Mayhem, here's to next year.....
Sorry you guys missed it Slug.....but next year the weather will be ........well thats another story

Oh by the Way Bill, I thought I was the only one one who could destroy a ESC like that (aks Mr Milbourn)....
Now remind me what do we do again

Bill D203 · « **Reply #597 on:** June 05, 2012, 01:26:57 pm »

Just been down our boat house to turn the Gazebo canvas. Its still damp

Phil I have got a new esc on order and hope to get the boat back on the water by Sunday.

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #598 on:** June 05, 2012, 02:08:43 pm »

Mayhem marquee in back garden... getting even wetter!
When is the sun going to come out again so I can get it washed, dried and packed away?
