Sydney Hobart
Today is kick off for the Sydney Hobart Yacht race. Any yacht with the name "Strewth" gets my vote.

My money is on Ain't Misbehavin. Would love to be in Hobart one day for the finish - I have friends who live on the banks of the Derwent and watch the yachts come in every year.
Anyone else got a tip for it?

There is that reporter in a bad way chucking up on one of the boats. Brings back bad memories for me.

Out with engine trouble don’t they have sails (big cloth thing on top of the boat) or do the aussies have to have a speed boat now so they might have a chance of winning something now
