I was in charge of the Electronics repair section in the Army at Bulimba.
I stayed up that night to watch the race.
My ex was not interested. She went to bed.

I became worried when Australia II (A2) was behind and went wide looking for wind. It worked and in they came.

We didn't get much work done that day. It must have been the lowest production figures ever for a day. All were sleep deprived but happy.

We were all excited that A2 had finally won "The Old Mug"

The tradition started in 1851 when the schooner "America" took it off the British in the English Channel.

Cheers
