but if anyone is interested the Australian Championships for Jet Sprint Boat racing is on tomorrow (5th November) at Cabarita Beach...Round Mountain Road from 9am. Cost is $20 per adult....byo chair...food is available to buy but you are welcome to byo....the same applies to drinks...but no glass allowed peoples....bring some chairs or a blanket to sit on...and if you have one a portable shade thingy..

There is plenty to photograph especially if you like action stuff as the boats always seem to photograph well...a helicopter is also there doing joy flights...$50/person...and if you ask nicely they will remove the door for you for brilliant arial shots...

I'n navigating in one of the boats as well as photographing some of it...so if anyone does decide to drop in do come and introduce yourself...I shall be with racing team 'Still Pumping'...

Just a couple from todays practice run....I did warn him he was a tad close...;)
