Im so glad you guys pulled off that weekend, I would assume that the rain came through within hours of you leaving.
well done for taking the chance , driving the drive and pulling it off with some great sailing
10 points out of 10 from me
Looks like you guys had a Howler, good stuff.
That Wind Festival sounds like a plan if it all turns out for you. I don't know how these things work but it sounds like you could have Planed trips, Speed trials and assorted races all running at once from the size of Gilles. One thing is sure if life gives me the chance I will be there as well, that is providing I don't keep busting bits on the Razor and Cat.

Great news to hear the weekend went well. Good on you for taking the chance, making all the efforts and pulling off a memorable event
Thanks Port,
matey if the family stop having their bleedin' Dramas I might be able to put a few bucks to one side. I'm not whinging but stating a bleedin' Fact.. I also would need to make sure there are going to be a few others their as well.. You know, to hook a rope to the carcass and drag it back to a morgue should that be needed. Be a hell uv a thing to have one of you poor sods screaming about out there and come upon a Mummified Carcass sprawled out there in the distance I wouldn't be too pleased to think you'd just stand me up, put a flag in me hand and use me as a Turn Marker.. No on second thoughts that would be a Hell of a Compliment

PS; More pic's of the weekend please.
the weekend was good however i think it should be made mentioned that it did go a little "pear shaped" at one stage i certainly hope that this does not detract from holding another event soon,, i hope "fences" will be mended by then
congratulations Beachball it seems that you did well for the weekend. I recon
your interest instigated it all, and for those who turned up it apparently
worked, i couldn't make it , maybe next time. So job well done........but you
haven't posted any pics yet ???
sorry joe didn't take any was as crook as a dog when i was up there had a bit of a lung infection and it was as cold as anything so wasn't a real happy sailor but stay non the less next time i go up which at this stage will be in october i hope it will be a bit warmer and i'll be in better health but there are pic of the weekend on this thread to have a look at....oh yeh and the credit for a good weekend goes to everyone not just me
Beacball for your promotion and suggestion for the sail I see no reason that
you should not get the award for the most productive injection into
landyatching is South Australia this year.
So on my own i nominate you as the originality organizer to "The 1st
Beachball Beach Bash" at Beachball Break campground Lake Gillies.
I'm sure someone will second that.....that is not all it seems #2 event is
coming to the inland beach real soon
