Pity it wasnt the following week. 
My young fella's in year 11, we've janked him out the week early before school hols to go camping, check with the school Mike might be OK.
Mikey100 a school teacher so he wil have to yank himself out a week early.
Having it a week later might not suit the tides.

Lake Placid caravan park is next door to me, beautiful spot with camp sites, caravan sites & cabins, my wife can even run some of us into town.
Re gear for Green Island. I recommend to bring a pair of sand shoes or booties because to get from Rigging area to Low Tide sailing strip requires a walk over coral rubble in about shin deep water. Because we are bare foot sailors we used to take a bit of cord and tie them to the coral out there. There are plenty of areas out there where you can stand and have a rest if required.

Where Rick has marked high tide sailing is flat at a med tide and on a highter tide there is a big area of flat to the left of the island and a little behind. When good these spots will have small chop, but where Rick has marked low tide sailing goes to glass no matter how windy. I'm fairly sure this is when Cam has picked his comp
Why not a race from Green to Yorkey's on last day, that should be down wind all the way

would like to invite all serious speed sailors to
GREEN ISLAND Speed Week JUNE 21-28 2009.
OK, I'm keen to visit but could hardly call myself serious,
Is the event open to anyone willing to have a go or is there a minimum standard to enter.

Hmmmmm............. After todays session in Antarctic conditions I am pretty tempted.......
Wow, did they name the Island after the colour of the arrows on Seabreeze?
I think my smallest sail (5.0) may be way too big upthere.
Fantastic sounds really good. I will make the trip as I was looking for somewhere warm to go next winter for a windsurfing trip. Will be great if I get to attend 2 Qld speed sailing events next year!
hi Sailquick - Eastern Speed Run is open & very safe until tide drops to 1.6m so its a matter of getting those times sorted out in advance.
Northern Speed Run has bommies in various spots which could be damaging -we'll set up buoys on these to reduce the risk -helps to sail with polarised glasses however.
Should only take an hour or 2 to familiarise yourself with this
Hope this helps-we'd love to see you up here !!
