There you go Fuji, a shot of me with my eyes wide open , i only rest them on rare occasions when standing. Its whats known as “REWSFOP”. ———-RESTING EYES WHILST STANDING FOR OLDER PERSONS .
Another explanation is one with which i am quite sure you are well aware. Its the “BLINK OF AN EYELID” SYNDROME . The exact moment when the button is pressed and the recipient TAKES A NAP.
Not for a moment would i ever try to teach you how to “SUCK EGGS” FUJI . When someone can straighten out the mess i make of my photographic efforts like you do ——it’s way above my pay grade.

Told you i had been up to my fetlocks in upgrading some of the previous efforts.
decided the base left a lot to be desired so i chucked out the old and used a superb piece of hardwood —-six coats of varnish —flattened with wire wool and then polished with bees wax and applied with fine wire wool . Came out really well with the finish i required ———so i did the same thing with the “MERRY -G0-ROUND”.
My old teacher would have been proud of me !!!!!!!!!!

I love it! Jackie and his unnatural state. I know I can’t drink with a professional, so I don’t even dry fast always Amberjack.

Would you alone this out for a test run? We can put it in a bass boat and take it to Lake Okeechobee. The frogs will have to get faster.

Had no idea you had Frenchmen in Okeechobee —-thought they were all up in Quebec ????

Long time friend “MELANIE” worked for five years with J/C to produce SEARACE.
Long recognised as THE BIBLE of offshore racing.

Wasn’t a bad April's work —managed to finish both “MAX’S” and do AMIEE HITCHEN’S birthday concept
plus finish off the three Velden BENSON AND HEDGES boats .
They along with two more are going to the Lowestoft club to be awarded as Annual prizes .
would like them called —
THE BOB SPALDING
THE TOM PERCIVAL
THE ROGER JENKINS
THE NELLY GREGG
THE JACKIE WILSON. Reason for this is the fact we all raced together at Oulton Broad on many occasions, all of them were good friends —— only one i ever fell out with was Percy when i caught him measuring my boat.
Nelly was a shady car dealer who did a bit of porridge but Was a great personality and a much loved boat racer.
Jenks was a man who could talk the hind legs off a donkey. Was a very good racer and another friend of mine.
Bob was a good friend long before he ever became a racer — i like to think i helped shape him into a GREAT racer.
To my mind ,most trophies are crap——cups——plates and useless cigarette boxes that are of neither use nor ornament. [particularly the hideous four poster plastic monstrosities they give out in the states].
Continentals have always given half tidy decent trophies —- glass and silver in the main.
i would have given my best effort to winning a hand made motor boat trophy concept.
So— i have done five for the LOBMBC . After all —it is the oldest motor boat racing club in the world.
