Thanks....

The last 7 days have been INSANE!! Both physically & mentally challenging- it’s been a roller coaster of emotions……. UIM 3B WORLD CHAMPIONS 2011!!

Big thank you to all racers & organizers - it has been a fantastic experience & was great to meet/race/partaay with you guys & girls! I think John and I are still in a state of shock & quite possibly still hung over!! (I know I am)…..

Also big thanks to Team Guernsey – Dad (chief mechanic/ boat god), mum, Sean, Rach, Ja & Richie for your help/ support. To our friends & families back in Guernsey for the support and kind messages. And of course the GPA boys for throwing an awesome surprise return party for us – I am still soaked head to toe in champagne you buggers……….

Even bigger thanks goes to the ape man/little lamb/ John Boy /John Richardson for giving me the opportunity to race with him – it’s been a crazy couple of months which I definitely won’t be forgetting any time soon mate! Very well done mate, so much for taking it easy. So proud – you’re an excellent chauffer!

Congratulations to Adam & Rod for designing and building a cracking boat

That’s all I can think of so far I am still buzzing and my head is now mush…..Once again well done to all and many thanks – hope to see you all again in 2012!

Cheers,

Tom (B-48 The Guernsey Boys!!)

Just want to post on here thanks (from a Class 3B Fan & ex racer) to Barrie & Sheena.

They found the entries from abroad & worked very hard to put the event on.

Bloody Good Work.
