Never dull on the GC Wazzamagoo, after reading the fun on the Qld Seabreeze thread it's looking bloody dull in Frangaville 

Hope all going well for you both FB. I'll keep my eye on you!

Ah Fangy, those were the days! Whine, women and schlong. Sadly, however, my saggytit days continue but I am about to subscribe to a gymnasium to try to become trim, taut and t'riffic. Essentially, I aim to apply more downhaul . Or maybe it would be better as uphaul?  In any event, I'll end up needing a new beach wardrobe. Wazzawantslycra.

Wazza Monty P would envy your self flagellation. Fun times

Ah , yes indeedy! The Ripping Yarns series is a particular favourite of mine  and I derive constant inspiration from it's lunacy. I know, I know, it's all a bit sad really but, hey, as long as I take the tablets.....

Wazzasomep&q, It's a bit sad that such a beautiful body of water attracts such retrobates and that just the windsurfers! Come a try Wellington Point (Northern car park) on Saturday. The natives are friendly and apart from the odd kiter with no sense of direction, the water is safe. Parking will be at a premium so try and get there around noon for the change of shift. The bank will come out on the north side from about 2.00pm

Thanks Slippery for the kind invite but this Saturday I have to head off to Grafton on family business which, world over, is only ever conducted when winds are above 20 knots. I am really keen to try Wello in the near future though. You'll spot me as a pretty much motionless blob in the wrong place. I'm sure  that The Broadwater will get better after the holidays finish, assuming that a) all the holidaymakers go home or perish through misadventure, violence or lack of water sense and b) that all the ice-crazies  recover very slowly from their injuries in hospital. And the directionless kiters?....well. there's absolutely no hope there as we all well know.

FangyAssange...now I comprehend....I hadn't worked out the Chinese angle although they are angling to build a casino here on the banks of The Broadwater....for Chinese high rollers..who, presumably play pontoon. Hmmm...what a cunning plan. I think that you are telling me that when I hit the chop chop I will  no longer have room to land on the 21 pontoon? Sounds like even more water starts then.

Wazza, If you can head down to Grafton a day early, you could mix business with pleasure on the Friday afternoon. The Clarence River mouth at Yamba has a river training rock wall you can sail behind in a NEer. It can get lonely as there is only one regular sailor in the area. His nickname Ezric on Seabreeze, Ezza from the Board Crazy Crew on GPSTC.

Wazzadonis + Gym + Lycra  ==

Firie, that's not me. I have a Junior cup, very Junior indeed. Hung like a grasshopper.

Slippery, thanks again and I'm very keen to try Yamba in a northerly but no can do this Friday....bloody work! Last time I crossed the bar into Yamba/Iluka was in a 15m yacht in 2012 and we very nearly got cleaned up by a random set...revenge will be sweet!
