Day 2 - Sawmill Bay > Raven's Cove > Stonehaven.      Night 2 - Stonehaven.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRSTEN!!!!!!!

Sawmill Bay Anchorage:


Roofi mysteriously wakes up with blisters on hands from helping 
Sal....apparently ripped his palms on the "anchor rope" 

Alison and Sal took almost an hour to construct a bed out of the lounge room 
table.

By showing her agility and prowess, Shena is now part of Special Ops Group and 
Rapid Deployment Water Pistol Squad (RDWPS).

Note to Minnow I (Alison) - do not engage full forward throttle while anchored.

Thomas emerged from a "vigorous sleep" covered in sweat - you work it out. He 
has also forgotten his togs - and now constantly scares us with his "porno togs" 
underwear.

1st to crack beer today: Suz, at 11:30. When challenged by the 12-noon rule, she 
claimed that it must be after 12 somewhere in the world.


Raven's Cove Anchorage:

A number of concerted attacks were launched on Minnow II by Minnow I at Ravens 
Cove. This resulted in several incidents and the Minnow I commandos being 
repelled in an emphatic and embarrassing way. 

1. Alan (AKA Attack Gimp) was beaten about the head with his own weapon, 
resulting in a bruised and bloody nose.
2. Alan was thrown from his attack dingy due to poor communications with his 
Danish co-driver.
3. Brocky, the Minnow II Special Forces Rugby Tackler, especially shipped in by 
SunSail, buried Alan (AKA Rope Burn Gimp) into the boom net.
4. Chelsea was elbowed overboard by Roofi from the attack dinghy, while trying 
to protect stolen M16 Super soakers.
5. Chelsea being attacked by two bat fish that were attracted to either her 
bikini (understandable) or the half submerged water balloon nearby.

The comment of the day was from Thomas, the Danish Commando contingent (with 
Terminator accent) - "This mission is not going very fucking well"

Minnow I did not plan to fail, they failed to plan.

The Minnow II Weapon of Mass Destruction (WoMD) was used to great effect and 
after launching several warning shots across the bow of Minnow I, scored a 
direct hit on the mast. Destroying what was left of Minnow I moral, and in the 
process also blowing the absolute crappers out of the MII WoMD igniter. The MI 
launching team had several burnt and singed patches until the launch mechanism 
was perfected.


Roofi proclaimed himself "Jesus" after killing a bumblebee, then fishing it out 
of the sea and reviving it.

Stonehaven Anchorage:

An attempt to actually use sail power was made by both yachts today. Resulting 
in generally backwards motion under tack. Roofi generally disappointed that 
there was no Mizzenmast. Harrrrgh!  Maybe we'll try with a tail wind.

Dropping anchor at Stonehaven was difficult, with the anchor dragging along the 
bottom without grabbing. Minnow I ran their chain off the winch - arrgh! 

A special Birthday Dinner was held on Minnow I for Kirsten's 28th, after which 
all crew adjourned to Minnow I for dessert, games and MORE DRINKS!

While Minnow II crew enjoyed the apparent hospitality of Minnow I, the Minnow I 
Black Panther Ninja Ghurkha Special Ops Group (Ben and Chelsea) finally got 
revenge on Minnow II by completely disabling the boat. This did not go un-
noticed by Minnow II and counter measures were launched. The Minnow I commandos 
got off Minnow II and were forced to hold onto the poo holes, 007 style, to 
avoid being captured. If Ben or Chelsea offers to shake hands - back away. Pat 
proved himself a consummate and pathological poker-faced liar, while Andy is now 
known by Minnow I as "The Ferret" for finding the un-findable. While this 
brought the inter-Minnow rivalry to a head, the general decision was that the 
shenanigans had gone off the rails. Time will tell.....

During the fracas and ruckus (or was it fuckus?), Roofi and Chelsea lost the 
Minnow I WoMD in 15 m of water, despite Ben's valiant effort of diving in after 
it, the weapon was lost.

There was also a game of Rapido (cross between play-doh and trivial pursuit). 
The speed at which Kirsten guessed the clue for "felatio" was somewhat 
disturbing, not to mention Sal's sound effects while attempting the same clue.

An interesting discussion ensued in the wee hours (pun intended). The topic was 
"poo looking" - should you or shouldn't you? Some just didn't want to know what 
was in the bowl and others claimed it was good for health status. This also led 
to wiping techniques. All that needs to be said here is that Sal (no nuts) and 
Alan (The conservationist) have diametrically opposed views on the matter.

In other important news - Tennille had a nap.
