Heats Four and Five of the CQ titles - held at Rosslyn Bay Yeppoon.

Well it was a day that definitely lacked for colour.Rosslyn Bay was still brown and muddy from the floods, the wind was gusty up at Wreck Point where I took a few photos, and the sky was grey all over. Most of the shots look as though I took them in Black and white!

Crews were busy preparing for the race...

                                                  But it was Loco who won in the end

                                and with such a dull outlook is it any wonder i gave up and went home?
