Just wondering how our windsurfing cohorts from KI are doing in the bushfires. ???? This is the view from over here looking towards Kangaroo Island burning behind Cape Jervis.
A few years ago there where large bush fires at Lano They where so intense they created a seabreaze of about 25knts ...realy eerie though the glare was this gold colour and the sky was a redish brown...
Nice pics susie - Hope their getting on OK - I was in the Hospital where I work and when the change came through we thought we were on fire - and thats 12 k's from Adelaide - the whole city is hazey and stinks - those poor Buggers have been in it for a week or more.
Hey Susie - been sailin the flat lands around Kingston park etc - It's been good last weekend and Tuesday. - Forgot me harness on Sunday and had to borrow one of Fletch - nothing like squeezing 90Kg's of belly into a skinny 65k wringing wet sailors old harness.
Theres gonna be some wind over the next few days - hopefully sthly enough to sail Uturns or something - maybe Kent tomorrow.
See you in the water
Yeah, the wind turned south westerly and all that smoke blew in. THAT was eerie. But I didn't care cos it was WIND. But yeah, where are you Kangaroo Islanders?????
