Key west a few years back!!!!!!!!
Yesterday was a good example of what happens when you turn your kids loose on the i pad —- unlike me —they can make an iPad talk. So its more or less back to normal.
Cosworth crew put all sorts of Gizmo‘s on the drive. I had a pressure GUAGE on the gearcase and a temperature dial.
They sorted the box out —- it ran the full seven hours in Parker —-reason was , after spending twenty minutes trying to change the leg —- Keith made the decision to just run until we reached the end or it broke . Well it never missed a beat . When they dismantled the foot , was discovered to be still in perfect condition . Had a beautifully engineered set of brakes [ which i never once used , but it made a good talking point].
I love looking at all these old pictures
I wish boat racing was what It was in the 70's and 80's
the Golden period for outboards.:cheers:

Aint that the truth ?????? Wasn’t just the boats, it was the people that ran them . I am still friends with the people i raced with fifty years ago. Well, those that are still breathing anyway.
Ok. You make the arrangements — i will go and pay him a visit ?
did he ever work for Duckworth and co ???????? Seems like a lot of the Cosworth guys went out into the world and made a name for themselves —-good example is Paul at ILMOOR AND BROAD ????
I left the gate open for you —- see if you can use it !!!!!!!!!

Quiet weekend , had a flue jab on Saturday morning which left me with an aching arm and a feeling of being drunk or high— whichever feels the lousiest. I have never had a flue jab in my life before but Jill said she had a “feeling” and arranged it for 8-30 am saturday . By 9-30 it was me that had the feeling and it wasn’t good . Sh-tty feeling lasted all weekend .
Woke up this morning all bright eyed and bushy tailed —- just well pissed off that i had lost a weekend somewhere along the way.
Christian Toll. [ he renovates famous offshore boats Like DRY MARTINI—KEIKHAEFER 1V and KAAMA ] told me he is going to Tavares for the old farts dinner . He is taking his dad IAN TOLL along with him. Then taking the Saturday noon plane to KEY WEST to see the race down there .
Thought i might be able to do something along those lines , but it is not to be . So maybe next year when the doom, gloom and covid have finally pissed off into the long distance .
Monday morning and i have a workshop to tidy and clean up so i can start procedures once again — at my age —stay inactive for too long and rigor mortis sets in .
