A Great Day at Coonarr on Wednesday!!

B.O.M. isobar map indicated wind good on Wed but rain on Thur (they got it right), (apologies to Laurie).
Blokart in boot, 20 min drive, arrive around 3:15 pm, have a scan and point face into wind. Opinion, yes, there should be a ride both ways. Try upwind first to assess how adventurous to be downwind.
Take photos fist to verify post. Just get 4 pics before camera shuts down because darling 16 y.o. daughter has flogged the good batteries out of camera so she can get all important shots of her and mates doing stuff on her camera!!![}:)]
The following stats recorded by "Topeak Comp 150" wireless bicycle computer calibrated to the rolling diameter of the front wheel of blokart.
Session Time:-53mins 37secs, Session Distance:-20.52klm, Average Speed:-22.9kmh, Max Speed:-64.3kmh.
Other non scientifcally measured stats, No. of people on beach for the day:-6 plus 1 dog on lead, Best Speed Upwind:- 25kmh, Length of Beach (Coonarr Creek to Elliott River):- 4klm, Beach Width (Sailable):- varying 5 to 15 metres, Success of 350mm Intermediate battens added to sail:- Spot On, Solitude Enjoyed:- More than enough (the rest of the buggers are more motivated to work than having fun), Sense of Satisfaction being able to do this:-P.D.G. (pretty damn good).

They call it WAGS (Wednesday Afternoon Gentlemen's Sailing). Two places I know that this occurrs nearly every week on the water are Cairns and Mooloolaba.

I never was a WAG during school but that is probably why I can be one today. Just making up for lost time.

Like you say Paul, doing it on a week day just makes it that little bit sweeter.
