It is "that" time of the year again, Boxing Day, and we are off to the Woodford Folk Festival for a week...we are very confident that Tall Boy will not have a wild New Years Eve party. No...seriously...

This year The Sheila and I open the festival with the first talk in The Greenhouse on the first day. Then I am back doing my first Climate Change presentation...yes I am fully prepared...not. I also have a few comedy gigs including the comedy debate which is "That global warming is a good thing". S Sorrensen, who puts it all together clearly has a sense of humour because I am on the affirmative.

Boxing Day is also the start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race . The Google Earth link will show the position of the boats during the race...very cool.

In 1998 I was there. Check out this fantastic photo taken as we approached the start line - that's me on the bow of Cruz Control on the right (link is to 2000 race report). Given the weather forecast I think I am glad I am not going this time.

See you next year.
