Cruise report - Hover-Tech demonstration - Sunday, 12^th October 2003.

Dear Air Cushion Vehicle enthusiast,
On Sunday 12^th October 2003, Angus Kerr invited some of his friends to see a Hover-Tech demonstration at Victoria Point which was conducted by business partners, Michael Driscoll and John Nielsen using a Hoverguard 800.
The demonstration started at 9:00 am and was conducted on the channel between Victoria Point and Coochiemudlo Island. Members of the local Volunteer Marine Rescue unit were given rides and they were generally impressed at the crafts ability to perform at various speeds in the rough bay condition with 20 - 25 knots of wind coming from the south-east.
Present from the club scene were Angus Kerr, Tony Podlich and Dave Brooks who arrived in their Scarab 2 weed sprayer craft and Kyle Kerr and friend, Lucas Kerr and Tony Podlich's young son.
Angus and Tony enroute from Cleveland Peninsular negotiated Eprapah Creek to pick up Dave from his houseboat.
