Great arvo sailing sesh with Capt'n Kel, QB1 and Gaz. Battling the tail end of the "man flu", so thought what better way to kick it with some salty goodness!!! First one out on the water just after midday (after watching some mates play Rugby 7's in the morning at Yorkeys) and last one to leave...
Wind was a bit light on to begin with, so rigged big... Didn't take long for the wind to fill in nicely to the point where I was a little overpowered at times.
B1 was the first to join and looked like he was having some right royal fun~ congrats on the hour PB mate! Capt'n Kel then joined the party and we enjoyed a couple of fun little drags between the swell lines, but when it came to the gybes, he absolutely kicked my arse... just couldn't get them together today! Gaz rocked up last and sailed way way upwind where we could just see his sail flicking somewhere over near Trinity inlet!! 
Ended up being another beautiful tropical sunny day in Far North Paradise with superb water clarity out into the blue... Lots of bait fish jumping and a few bigger fish in tow- actually, barely just missed one on an outward run...
Feeling a little bit knackered now...
