If you need to ask that question you clearly do not under stand how serious the current situation is or or going to be
If you go sailing you potentially put yourself at risk (not to mention the traffic ),and may have to be assisted by personal who are busy dealing with other issues . walking the dog is good for both parties ,man and dog .Sailing alone is self gratifying ,you would be better employed helping a senior member of our society get their groceries in this time of uncertainty .Watch the news ,read the news paper , watch tv news listen to the Premier and Prime Minister and Police Chief . figure it out
Go sail until they lock us down totally. The last few times ive sailed theres only been one other out. My exercise is endangering no one. Much more risk going to shops.
Free your mind n the rest will follow.
Still plenty of time in the day to go help elderly relatives if required.
Got a Facebook feed that suggests no recreational boating. Would need to categorise it as exercise??
The article suggests 'non powered' activity ok 'exercise' as long as no more than 2 together and social distance maintained
i will be ok as I can't keep up with anybody as it is
Yeah I just read that Jeff, seems to indicate still ok to windsurf as it is a non-powered device. Just make sure you are sailing for the exercise and not for self gratification.
All good you can still windsurf, surf, kayak, SUP. breath easy! it's exercise and helping with your mental health especially with current circumstances (hint hint)
Just really referring to using a vessel for a purpose that does not include recreational purposes - any need to expand on it?
Should be up on the MSQ or AMSA websites now if not soon.
As long as the Sandstone mob doesn't take all their boards and lay them along the grass, would look like a one design regatta from 1984.
Don't give anyone ammunition or evidence that to say we are not social distancing or gathering! They will complain and its always the usual complaining population!

Because the rules change daily , before my next sail I'll ring the local cops .
And if allowed get the coppers name and as Auz Moz said not spread our stuff all over the place .
Sail Ninja style
Banning us for being unnecessarily dangerous and possibly taking up ambulance and hospital bed space , it would be unfair letting bike riders do their thing . Bike riding is soooo much more dangerous .
Everyone please separate when parking, rigging and even on the water. This is the best way to stop our sport being shut down.
updated MSQ guidelines from today:

There is also a link to an ABC radio interview with MSQ GM attempting to provide some clarity on the new rules.
So from I have read Paddling, Kayaking and Sailing are in, guess that means you need a pole of some description and strings are out.
Hey guys, I don't fear this virus (and I work in a Covid-19 designated hospital). I do fear panic and the over reaction that could ruin our way of life. I fear heavy handed police encouraged by some ,mostly state, politicians, competing to be the most "caring" and therefore most draconian in terms of shutting down normal human behaviour. There is a law of diminishing returns. Restricting human contacts helps slow the virus from spreading, but there is a limit.
No one really knows how this will pan out. We do know the old and sick need to be protected. The young and fit will be just fine. I am not worried about my kids getting sick any more than I would be if they caught seasonal influenza A.
For goodness sake, going windsurfing isn't going to hurt anyone.
Be sensible. Go solo. Enjoy yourself and keep smiling.
We will be OK.
Ring Qld health and ask. I rang NSW and got the info I needed. I was told to ring my own state as each state may be different.

I witnessed the 'most I Australian thing today, horrific'
whilst returning from my 'exercise' in the water , the life guards were telling scantly clad girls in micro bikinis that they could not sun bake on the beach... and asked them to move on ... what sort of Australian Male would do that I ask?!!... the worlds gone mad!
I stepped in and advised the girls that if they did a few planks, some push ups and the odd crunch in between gathering their rays of sunshine they would 'technically be exercising ' and could remain .... they thought that was a great idea and obliged ...
I know very noble of me ... it's all in the best interest of community service , I think we should spread the word ...
Jonesy, I hope you were a good citizen and watched them to make sure they were exercising the whole time
