Well just a vid mix of thoughts and action.
Strange times out there, this is not to make anyone feel bad its just my take on the the sailing experience with lockdown.
The Botany seen without lockdown offers a great vibe as we are rigging plenty of good conversations on the beach talking about equipment and whatever the topic is at the time all good stuff. One sailor i spoke to via text sent an amusing text that when the lockdown is lifted his equipment will be obsolete good to see healthy humour out there. However at the moment it's solo rigging keep to yourself sail de-rig and go home no chat no stirring each other very quite.
Anyway check it out and don't eat to much during lockdown your harness may not fit you.
Kind regard Walt

It's safe to say that lockdown is driving us mad. With so much time on our hand with curfew, we are doing crazy things to past time and overcome boredom. So here's my way of escaping this creepy time by putting together with my sons some crazy fun skits. We windsurfers have been forced to go underground and the interrogation begins.
