GALLEY CAT
LIFE BEGINS !

Monday 9 July 2012

ALL REVVED UP!!! Wiv no place 2 go!

 G'day BOOTIFUL Peoples!
Lotz has happened since I last switched this blog on, had a read and reflected on just how lucky I am 2 realize "I enjoy my life!"
This foto " Steamed cod and vegies served on a bed of fluffy jasmine rice with a fusion reduction of ginger, chilli and soy and  just a squeeze of lime at the end! Veree Tastee!
 Have I mentioned how much the food on this Yot is shocking!
Dad and Brother Mark have just left Town!, I've had a nap!, poured a Fellixer and will now attempt to relay 2 you, life aboard Galleycat this week.
The main purpose(little dolfin) of this week was
always really about the V8's!
Itz all over and done with now, and upon reflection!
 "LIFE SUX!"
We've just had a week of fishing, excellent food, and V8 racing! plus a spattering of mudcrabs, Moto GP, Nascar and Formula 1.
Itz also been a week of Family!
 We as a family tend to not get on terribly well when we are in confined spaces for long periods of thyme. (in fact as we originally drove from Perth to Townsville , I'm sure bets were on  we'd kill each other B4 the end of a 7000km+   road trip) We didn't ! By the weigh.
Upon reflection, I think Life has turned a corner 4 the whole family. As the main topic of concern and conversation during the last week was "Family!"
Both (near and far / past and present).
Not a bad weigh (notice the yoghurt link,Dad?) 2 spend a week!, really.
Back to the V8's !!!!!!!!
What an experience! I'm a fan of V8 racing as sum of you mite know by now !
2 sit trackside waz a whole Nu experience 4 me. As I've neva actually bean 2 a race.
Jamie Whincup won the races! But the whole package was Gr8!
 The sound, was what blew me a weigh!(thatz twice) The televised version can "neva" re-create the level of "noise intensity" that is an actual race! Somehow the cleva bastardz in television land have workd out how to get rid of the incredible BACKFIRE!
The other fact was how the promoters have managed 2 keep the track interesting 4 3 whole dayz! Support categories were at thymez more interesting than the main event!
Especially when a car inciner8ated itself in front of  us after doing an incredible Burnout ,"that bought bak a few memories of 'Cortina'-land.com.au"
I've a new found respect 4 the role my "V8 Hero's" play in the over-all scheme of thingz I call Life! These  CRAZY bastardz fly around a trak at an unbelievable speed! side by side while 4 uther carz are smashing into them! Not 4 me.com! But I take my "choice chips" hat off to them.! Now that I've finally got my new hat from Mr Micheal and his family.(with many thanx)
The guy's that drive these cars are simply insane !
I can only hope I have the chance to meet Mark, Craig or Jamie in person and ask them "WHY". And I hope they answer "FOR THE FANS!"
Itz really Gr8 entertainment!
The action on track made the visit worthwhile with sum of the closest V8 racing I've ever scene.
We chose our seating position for the 3 dai event, right next 2 pit entry on the hair-pin into the main straight. This meant you could literally touch the cars as they rolled past into the pit area.Over-all it was a fantastic experience that wetz my appetite for this years visit 2 "THE MOUNTAIN" in early October. Even Dad seemed to enjoy himself.
We returned to the Yot on the Sunday Afternoon, settled down to a hearty feed of Singapore style chilli mudcrab and waited for the Moto Gp and Formula 1 races later in the evening. It was a struggle for all to stay awake to watch Mark Webber take out the British Grand Prix. But we managed and what a race that was. Unfortunately Cassie Stoner came off his Moto Gp bike 2 corners from the end while battling for the lead.
Truly a gr8 week was had by all and as the rain begins to fall on not so sunny Townsville itz thyme for this little black duck to get sum shut eye!
So itz Ciao 4 now from Captain Felix
