That last pic looks like the old Peter Stuyvesant ads- After Action...

Wish we were there.

Today we washed the trikes and the myself, Demon, Chokey and Big G flew up to Maitlands river mouth and met some of Big G's mates on the beach. We all experienced simultaneous engine splutters and as a precaution we all decided to land on the beach. Had a coolie and some banter and then took off again for the flight back to St Francis.

We terrorised some chokka boats along the way. I had the Focker as pax and semo unprofessional photographer. I was a bit nervous to be between his legs but he behaved himself and took some stunning pics.

Tomorrow we are off to Plett and Knysna and will return back here.

Don't you just hate that when it happens? Especially when it happens to everyone in the gaggle and there is this lovely stretch of beach beneath you! Rather safe than sorry I say.

Holiday trip with the boys

Postby John Young » Sat Dec 20, 2008 5:14 pm

Today Demon and I with a few buddies went for a nice slow booze cruise.

We were spotted from the sky by some very quick GT450's.

Peace was shattered.

Oom Flo is also looking a bit roasted? Having some warm weather there by the looks of things.

Demon, I hear that you went fishing today and caught a Giant Trevelli? Glad to her that it was a "tag and release"; very sporting of you.

I now have a target for the end of next year ..... buy a GT450 and get my @rse down to St Francis for this bash (I do trust that it will become an annual event?).
