I reckon the Spenny is open til 2:30 tonight and the Eyre is open til 2 on Saturday night.

They might have changed it but it wouldnt make sense. No one goes out until 12 so the Eyre wouldn't get any business.



Errrrrrr, flat water. Well its sort of flat. Try to imagine the Torrens during a hail storm (and the hail is the size of footballs)

Na tomorrow will be pretty flat. Last night was choppy chop with chop ontop.

Hey stew, whats the story i heard about you and the eyre hotel. I only left half hour before close? did anyone from adelaide hook up with that sexy pirate girl with the glowstick glasses, tell the truth........shock, horror, gasp!

I hope you all had a good time, good ride and good night out would be great to see you all back next year lets see if we can do it bigger and better. If anyone has any ideas on how to make this event better let us know the guys that organised the event put in a big efort this year and would apreciate the feedback, so thanks to Tony, Anthony, Scotty and the rest of the crew that made it all happen.
