Why can't we have water like that with 20 knots wind. It would make for heavenly flat water sailing.

I went out side, fishing on Monday and saw a few go past on there way up from the Goldie. There was that one with the channel 7 logo on it. I was also out there on Tuesday but no yachts out, only heaps of whales scaring off the fish!!!

Love the catspaws on the water. I always enjoy sailing boats in that sort of wind, trickling along, watching the water go past.

Ian I just learned something new tonight never heard of the term "catspaws"
after a google search meaning very light wind?
Would prefer to be seeing white horses everywhere instead

I've always thought it was very apt. The surface of the water looks like it's covered in paw prints.

In my ideal world we'd sail boats in the morning, windsurf in the afternoon.

I used to live in NZ. There is a place called lake Aviemore in the waitaki lakes. you can camp all around the lake. During summer the lake looks like this in the morning - waterski lie around read a book etc all morning - then the wind kicks in anywhere between 12.15 and 12.35 - it comes in a line instantly 20knt - by about 4pm 25 - 30knt funnelled up from the cold ocean through a mountain valley. Very even

day light saving so you cook a BBQ have dinner hiding in the lea of huge willows then sail again till 10pm!

too many trees aorund and too strong for kitesurfers- to locals and nonwindsurfing people a lake from hell. :-)

Hey Bart I heard today that "Wild Oats" is over at the Gateway Marina. Worth a look if you've got the time.

Great shots! I was lucky enough to be right next to the start boat as they flew past, wild oats is amazing! The vodafone tri was a ring in, it is not allowed to take part in the race, yet it still chose to slice through the fleet at the start, bad form.

At one point, wild oats was doing 13 knots and the tri was doing 21! in about 8-10 knots of breeze.

Wild Oats crossed the line 12.20, not a bad effort getting to yeppoon in 24hrs! broke the race record by 3hrs.
