Toes have gone numb just thinking about it Brian. I'm OK with you having gone down to check it out but deciding against going in. I've heard there's still a vacancy or two for the 2nd week of the exodus to Lord Howe Island if you need thawing. Has that island in the fog lost a tree?

Thought you'd enjoy it, Bob, from a FNQ perspective. We all love our sport; Brendan put that love into practice in atrocious conditions.

Yes, Ian, the willow trees have been removed from Spinnaker Island, and there's no longer a pronounced wind shadow in its lee.

There's been a concerted effort to clear the regional waterways of willow. It is now classified as invasive, noxious weed.

FNQ? Lord Howe? What lovely options!

When I sailed there is 99 & 2000, the sleet/snow never bothered me too much, just the duck shyte between my toes walking in and out of that lake!
