Heres me at Milang on the 16th of FEB. Only 15 or 16km but wasn't overly windy. Broke a sail and a board that day aswell which was a bit of a downer.

Also, how do you guys get your track markings really narrow. Mines all thick so you cant see where i went as well as yours.

Cheers

I see you had a look at the sand island off yunderup, I've been meaning to do that for a while, but I think the run would be a bit short????

Yeah at least all you guys are sailing in blue water and it even looks like you might have a bit of green around your sailing spot.

My "best" run so far, 4 PBs on this one - 9-3-2008

The GPS got turned on again in the car so my full track included the drive home (and a stop of for a beer at a mates !)

Thats top stuff fella's.
How about with each one you describe the actual conditions of the spot??
For example, from reading other threads I have assumed Hardie's Run is totally different to what it looks like from above. Is it super shallow, deep, water state, where does the wind come from, what happens if you break down etc, how long and far does it take to get out to the run????????????????????.
Just curious.

looking at the 'Google earth' thread, the tracks on the blue water look so good, it occured to me - why not start a

"GPS Sea Writing Challenge"

like Sky Writing but using the tracks on G/E to spell a name etc.
A bit of a challenge like alpha's.
First to write 'seabreeze' or maybe just 'sea' or 'GPS' or 'Oz' gets a prize (a set of Derwent pencils[}:)][}:)]) or a T-shirt from Lozza

Any photoshop work will be penalised, & any stink-boat or similar shenanigans gets you banned from seabreeze!!!

The 2nd one I was following Troppo, I thought the young B*stard was taking me to Green Island
Got a 30 knotter max, and did 111 K's that day, a good day

Neb's got the first one, it's Green Island
That's the day I did 139 K's, my 5 min of fame, didn't last long
