G'day, A friend of mine managed to win a kayak sailing race using an umbrella. I say win but it was a moral victory only as the judges out of embarassment changed the rules halfway - requiring a roll to complete the race. But was he bitter? Why no! - the smile on his face was only surpassed by the smiles on the faces of the onlookers.
