I'm going to hit Dorans about 3pm

Anyone get a sail in this arvo/tonight? I was saving myself for 4 days (arvo's) straight sailing this week (fingers crossed it lives up to the forecast)

Henty looks a little tempting, but will probably try to sail at Doran's Wed afternoon!

Be good to put some runs on the board early in the month again. We've got Jan and Feb at the moment!!

What a day!!!!!
Can't get better than that Jez, when all the other so called "super pro speed sailors" stayed indoors cos the temp got down to below 20 degrees , there we were out there at the inargral King Of Dorans Speed event just ripping it up.
We can hold our heads high and should be proud we are leading the Tassie Speed Seekers for March by a country mile
Jez is yet to post but I know he cranked some blistering runs, so watched out for his results.

Haha yes we were the stupid dedicated ones today you can cert tell that winter is around the corner with the lack of people around. But a good wettie and all is good

Veeeeeeeeery on/off and choppy considering the wind, but still nice to get on the water.

Mmmmm Ant not sure who you were looking at out there, i struggled with the lack of sail area on the big board in those conditions. Will post soon! Hopefully tomorrow will be heeeeeeeeeeeeaps better

Lets just call this the Muppet show, with Ant and Jez!
Two muppets standing around a car park for 2.5-3 hours trying to decide if their going to go out or not. And in the end it was sooooo good that they had 5 runs[}:)] [}:)][}:)]

Sorry I had a typo it should have said 'you can cert tell that winter is around the corner, cause Buzzy is at home in his jim-james and slippers in front of the heater sipping on a hot choclate, while Ant and I a slogging it out in 12 degrees to get on the board the for month.'
