Green Island, QLD, AU

Another beautiful day at the island, only 15kts max today but had a ball again! Sailed with Bindy and great to follow her across the reef flat and hear her Wahwhoos! as she was plaining in the harness. Used the Isonic107 and Overdrive 7.5 again today, starting to love this combo, even though it was so light the efficancy of the board and rig made planing easy and happy to end up with 30 peak!

Love the island!

Port Douglas, QLD, AU.Some of the cairns crew came to port today,Firie.Fredo,Rodie,Bill,and some guy i had never met think his name was John trying to sell some gear seemed a nice guy and i think he new his stuff...I have just brought some more gear so i couldn't help him out.. the wind look ok but droped out which was disapointing,was looking forward to a good session with these guys..Fast Freddie broke a mast and had to swim a long way home.I went searching for him when the wind came in but could not find him thought he may have been shark bait..got back to shore and was told Firie had found him back on the beach..Wind came in at about 13 14 kts, enough for a blast on big gear,had a fun session with Simone our local girl sailor for about an hour..could of kept blast untill dark but decided to have a yarn with Firie and see what mood Fredo was in,It wasn't good..Cheers Ed..

Another great day in paradise

Drove up to Port Douglas with the family, all the way along the coast it was blowing, yay. Got there and still blowing, rigged my favorite set up and bingo wind dies. Stuff it I go out and can't believe I could get planning but not game to go off the wind, I think this is my slowest speed planning ever, two runs and it was gone, bugger.

A good mate had his mast break way out, after he self rescued I went and helped carry his gear back, about 3K each way twice and all the time watching others sailing again as the wind had picked up again, bugger

All good, it was a nice drive and had a few laughs at my mates expence, he's not happy
