    Sorry Mandy, I don’t know how Jacqui Keogh is going on the surf ski.

    It’s a bit far for me to go each day at the moment, but when they get to Bermagui I’ll follow the race, on land, to Eden, posting each evening.

    Unfortunately I have no idea of whether I’ll be able to get info when I get to the beach or camp. Also have no idea of what photos I’ll be able to get. Would like to put hundreds of photos up.

    Regards,
    Laurie.
