Boats that is.
Rick Willoughby and I are doing the Echuca Mini Marathon 50km race tomorrow on a couple of his sophisticated human power boats.
All going well, I could back up for the full Murray Marathon - 5 days & 404km - after Christmas.

Follow my SPOT Tracker if you have nothing better to do.

Best of luck Poiter !!!!

Looks fun, although I certainly hope you don't pick up any punctures

4th out of 33 boats.
Average speed with current (2kmh) about 14kmh.
Pretty hard work - felt like riding up a steep hill in one or two gears too high.
The guys who beat me in were a lot younger and had a lot more upper body muscle than scrawny old Pete.

Next thing will be a human powered hydrofoil.

OT, but when it comes to hydrfoils you can hardly go past the Moth class racing..... wild!
