 Dane Nigekrohn, he's never even made it to the start line, the turbine failed him to accelerate and he had to back out of it and just wouldn't leave, wouldn't well light up to be quite honest. We're just warming up, it was actually probably five minutes before our start and the engine completely died so it looks like a fuel control and not going to fuel the engine. But we've brought it back to the workshop, fixed it and we'll be there tomorrow because really what he's trying to do is have clean runs and learn how to drive the turbine at speed in rivers for the next year's worlds. As I predicted, wind and navigation was going to be a big problem but Ben Baxter had serious navigation but he nearly didn't make it into the river and then spun later on in his run. Yeah, I wasn't too tidy this morning, hadn't really bowed in the river much and got a bit confused coming into the mouth and had a wee U turn and bit of gravel when Roger snuck past us so we just followed him to the top and sort of let us away. I sort of figured Roger was more of an idea than I did and I had no ideas and it seemed like a good option. We had got up the river about 10km, we saw the Baxter's rooster tail so we kind of chased it down and he had had a couple issues obviously so we got past him reasonably easily and then he just followed us up. I think the head was out of race mode and as was still in so he just followed us and it was good. Clearly a good run for Preston but hey Roger is a good boat dropper, he's done a lot of boating and he's done a lot of boating and high speed boat so places like the Rekhira and the Waimack, he hasn't been cleaned up till now but I think you'll find he'll shine. But he's had a DNF which doesn't allow him for an overall but his class please, whatever you try. And of course Jason Young, current world champion CX class, had a drive shaft let go yesterday and today he run aground. Yeah we had a drivetrain issue with Universal let go, just before the wire bridge we started smelling something getting hot in the back. We got a small vibration so we were looking for something to stop and they just let go and it was a good start. Yeah it's our campaign especially in the overall and also in our CX class as well. Probably too far behind now to try and make any distance, especially after the AZ as well. Yeah we ended up way left after the mouse and missed a little shoot which was the way out and ended up parking it up at a little pool. So Jason's bad luck was clearly three-handed kiosk, good luck because Jason was actually waving him out of air to keep them going which is really good sportsmanship. So the downstream run on the Rekhira which is from the mountains to the sea, 87 k's. But of course it does help you when the Norwester is straight behind you and set it straight into you. The braided river of the Rekhira is very hard but most of the channels normally come out. That doesn't mean they don't get narrow as Roger Preston found out. They can John Derry still lead by a whisker from being backstabbed. Hey who's in third? Mike Pauley. Of course he's been out of boating for a long time. He has been a navigator but as a driver he's doing extremely well.
