See the three videos on you tube.

Greg , Mick , Nick and myself had a great time at Sandy point. There is no other place in Australia with flatter water. We sailed for the first 4 days and then no wind.Still we became really good at go carting and playing table tennis.
Us lake Macquarie boys seting 9 PBS.
Very Funny Video of me looking back at the camera and going up the sand bank in spectacular fashion. Nick laughing for Minutes lucky I was laughing to.
Nice to meet the people from the north of us and make new friends.
Always good to catch up with the Melbourne guys as they are so funny.
Hope this video footage posts see you all next year at Sandy.

was more like 35 gusting to 45 Milsy , was a great initiaion to the place , My knee is still sore from my stack, was to far off the bank and was doing 38 knots in the short sharp chop , i would not recomend doing that !!!!!!!!!! Next year i will be taking more notice of Byron and Daffy , Daffy said to remember this , "the bank is your friend "
Its still scarey going that fast and trying to hug the bank , i would have liked a more mild day to get used to the place

I figure stacking it onto the sandbank or shallows would be dicier..You'll be bored with the local conditions now..

It was a great holiday.
The slalom was done with 7.6m blowing around 15 to 20 knots. Got 33.5 knots max speed so did Nick .
The speed sailing was done in 35 to 50 knots with 5.5m WAY over powered. Did around 12 runs all over 40 knots of speed except one at 39.9 top speed under 42 knots.
Nick and Greg both did over 38 knots. Most people would not go out just too windy.
Must make sure my 5.5 m is tuned ready to go next year. When we actualy get enough wind to do this in lake macquarie.
My body held up ok.Backed it up with 7 formula races in the last two days in Sydney.Good fun good racing.

How pumped were you guys? Those speeds are wicked and the stack was hilarious. I'll have to try it one year. Couldn't stop laughing. Sick puppies.

Hi Byron,

Glad to see you and the guys had a great time. Looked like lots of fun. Love Nick's laughter - at your expense.

See you have put the helmet cam to good use. Nice video work.

Cheers.

Wayne.
