At Rambo’s September 03, 2008, blog there’s a story that starts:
“Bailing
“Hey guys, bailing is a skill and another reason why we should be proud our sport is so different from others. The Top Crews will make a move when they see another crew bail, it can make or break a race and it’s all part of racing smart…”
He goes on and comes to a conclusion. (By the way, is Mooloolaba anywhere near Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory?)
This sport is all about more than paddling fast. There’s problem solving and seamanship. Personally I see it as adventure racing.
I watched the Olympic Crew 8’s in Beijing and though I admired their conditioning and skill, I did not envy their rowing up a waveless river that was like a swimming pool.

Yankee, the bailing post was also posted here on OCPaddler, half way down the thread. http://www.ocpaddler.com/node/4055
You have to read every thread on OCPadder to be a complete paddler. You missed that one didn’t you?? …hahaha
Cheers Rambo

In public speaking you have to say things at least three times to truly make a point.
We are still one short. Keep bailing.

Yankee said - …… “In public speaking you have to say things at least three times to truly make a point.”
Fuzerider’s pretty good at doing that. …. hahaha
BTW _ Mooloolaba derives from the Aboriginal word mulu meaning Snapper fish, or mulla meaning Red-Bellied Black Snake …. so if you ever venture down-under watch out for them, as they love feasting on “Goolies”

Ain’t had no complaints.
Not sure mulu/mulla have the capacity to digest brass ones.

Maybe not Yankee, but be sure they will go for the next closest organ.
