Thanks bob you are the map man! What do reckon about the map of Tassie!

Yeah, I thought I knew the area, but it turns out I don't ! As I have said before I have spent a fair bit of time in SA, and have surfed at Goolwa, I thought the sea got into the river at the bottom end, but as the Murray is now flowing (like it should) its all nice and fresh.

Hope you have a good trip Bob, of course ( like everyone else not going) I wish could be there, maybe the next one in two years time, ps don't forget your ear plugs, should be awesome.

New rudder for Rebound arrived yesterday - absolute work of art in stainless steel - thanks Geoff. If it works as good as it looks Rebound will still be a dream to drive. Planning on giving Rebound a run on the Saturday over at Goolwa to see how the rudder works, as the shape is different to the old one.

Interesting to see the two side by side and the change in handling with the new one Bob.

I don't have the old one at hand to do a side by side photo. The new one is smaller - less deep and not as wide. The new one also seems to have a bit more leading edge. The proof will be in the handling, so will give it a try at Goolwa on the Saturday.
