 Because looking at the mountains here we've got snow on the mountains. It was minus two degrees coming over the crown range It's about one degree here this morning. So it's very crisp, but hey, no wind. Lakes very very calm So we've got to go across the lake and into the entrance of the Matukitok Which is about a 51k run up the river and it's a braided river It's falling and of course that river can be really really tricky on a falling river It's dirty and it's very fine shingles so you don't go very far when you do run again Not normally do a lot of boat damage. This boat driven by Gareth Monroe currently sixth overall of the moment in a class Which is really good. So how do you think you'll go today? Pretty good. Yeah, I'm pretty sure we just stick to having gone all week and Keep a foot down when we can and take it easy where we have to. Gareth never voted this river before. He actually hasn't even pre-voted this river So hey, his experience I think we'll get him through and he'll have to be careful Regan Williamson said he was coming out with all guns blazing but his guns didn't light up this morning The gas turbine had flat batteries or a crook battery from a high-speed spin a couple of days ago So that was the end of his race Nick's failure was Ben Baxter. Ben had a jet unit failure, which was appearing gone in the pump Couldn't fix it. Two D&Fs. Come around the top corner of the lake up there We could smell something melting in the back of the boat And it got worse as we come through here and it turns out the unit green So what has that done? We have to pull it out and have a good look, but things have been pretty hot in the back Something's gone wrong there. Hoping to be back in this afternoon. Should get fixed for the closer But we'll see. Got to have a look and see how much damage is done. And our only overseas competitor Ryan Ringer He had an engine failure, which I believe no oil pressure So he never got across the lake either. He made it about three miles And the low oil pressure lake came on and I looked down at the tack and started losing the revs and oil pressure dropped to zero Rob Pauli had a dry sump belt come off on the way up And of course that pump is what feeds the engine with oil. So that was the end of his day I've pre-voted this river, got up and down and he got the thumbs up crossing the line. So he's a happy guy Not so happy was me. Nigel was driving my old boat Inside of the finish line, he ran aground Last corner we could actually see the finish line went over Tried to cut a corner, went over sand bank and came to the stop That's a bit embarrassing for everyone to watch, especially dad looking on. So, but you know, we were at a good time So we're feeling pretty good about it
