Few pics of the 3 days. nothing too exciting because its hard to find the willing to do much but sail but some of the pics are nice, and give you an idea. I am back home and I really miss the ambiance of those days. I want to congratulate everyone for getting PBs or not, sailing those 3 days, specialy last day.. for pushing hard to their limit.. well done to all
, I myself packed 8 pbs in my stay, learn few tricks from the big guns
... such a pleasure to be part of this very special event and meeting everyone. Thank you Jamie for your friendship, helping everyone, be always there when needed, you are a good bloke
. I will be back for more, this is so addictive, the best drug in my book
Day one, people a bit quite, having a feel of it..
Day three, people have found their spot.. Jamie and Karl

Lot of people are missing, sorry!! like I said was hard to find the willing..
Oh no looks like its on again this weeks forcast looks the same as the last week that went off, a couple great warm up days and then a cranking one on Thursday,
Luckily I'm still on holidays.
graet photos Sammy, glad you survived the drive back safely.
Sammy, that is fantastico !!!!!! Gives everyone an indication of what this special / unique place has to offer.
Good to meet all the sailors from all over the country in my few days over there, how good is this sport?
Would love to be back on every given forecast like this.
I have never seen a more consistant wind that blows 24hrs around thr clock (it is relentless) & the salt build up on your vechicle is immense.
If anyone in the right mind has the opportunity to sail this magic place do yourself a favour & make the effort for the trip as we only live once.
It was a pleasure to meet you Sammy, tres manifique! I can't wait to get down there again before the competition is over. Have a great sail this week Jamie & Co.
Too late. Onto it!
Leave booked. Fins sharpened! Bottoms polished (from sitting around waiting for sooo long! )
I'm back to work on the wednesday, but finish at 3 so will be there for the 4 oclock surge on thursday and friday,
too late for the van daffy the barmera boys have already booked it.
and not really worried if your bottom is polished as i wont be going near it.
you are pretty small daffy the barmera boys might be able to sqeeze you into the van,
sure choco and hamma need someone between them.
forcast is looking like 3 full on days again.

I knocked down my Windguru experimental modification a tad. It was looking a bit high from the reports I got back.
Looks like I put the mozz on the forecasts as well!.
