@Looper yes Buddy it was I remember it well, and today was super soft, but the guys did amazingly well, it was just a great spirit of adventure and patience, could not have asked for a better convoy they were simply the best today.

Some Drive Stats v

@Frederic well as Luke and Emmanuel have already stated that was sure an adventure. Going from a free flowing 2.5hr jog in the early morning to a 6.5hr marathon thereafter , but wow what a 6.5hrs. We had some super technical, and extraordinarily soft sand to contend with and everyone to a driver drove exceptionally. We had the lot today, from Multiple stucks at the same time, to much use of the Ruby's winch, some creative rope work and of course the good old shovel was well utilized. Busiest C/F role I think I have had since joining Carnity support team, but man oh man was it fun and I learnt heaps as we had to think on our feet to recover so many cars in so many tricky and soft situations. Everyone ended the drive with a smile on their faces, it was a hard one but was a pleasurable one, look forward to the next adventure and learning experience. The whole convoy showed extraordinary patients today which is commendable and also a trait of a carnity team member so well done to one and all. @Emanuel you did a fantastic job in S/L polishing the lines of our mentor and lead @Frederic always a pleasure to drive with you and your silver Pajero. @Abhilash Kottakkal for your first Fewbie you picked a good one lol and you handled it extremely well so congratulations and weel done. @FERNANDO SYRIO you were brilliant in the sweep giving Fred and me constant feedback on what was happening at the rear and keeping us all together, great driving as well keep it up and look forward to seeing you on an Fewbie plus soon @Ben Lee great driving in tricky conditions don't remember you having any stucks or refusals, well-done mate @Cristian excellent driving too, and good comms on the radio when you had a couple of issues that always helps as it makes the recoveries so much easier great job. @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke hope your passenger is feeling better and we did not scare her too much fantastic driving and radio comms as always mate so thanks and appreciated the tug when the Ruby sank in during winching operations (of which there were many) so thank you my friend for coming to my rescue. @Adam James well done to you as well, you drove the wheels off of the FJ and taught me something about 8 track that I did not know, love to learn so thanks and great to drive with you. All in all what a way to spend Saturday morning in the sand with likeminded people that work well as a team and turn every situation into a learning experience. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did and have a fantastic rest of your weekend. :):)
