Port Douglas, QLD, AU

Had a great afternoon sail on Fox 140 and North S Type 7.8.  Main batten has snapped twice and so I got the you-know-what's and removed all three cams and ran it as a no cam sail.  Given the healthy breeze, this proved to be a good - pragmatic move.  Had a bit of a walk out and had the place to myself.  Ed couldn't make it down as he mumbled something about work commitments.  Hope you enjoyed your ride up the hill, mate.  You would have loved it out there.  For some reason, after an hour or so I was pretty tired of it.  Hoping that tomorrow and Friday I can continue this excellent run of good fortune.  With school holidays coming up, I'm hoping for a great couple of weeks on the water.  I really like this big board.

Cairns, QLD, AU Phantom295L, 7.8 Overdrive, 43 alloy fin. Sailed off the Cairns Esplanade at the Northern end at high tide. First sail for quite a while since I broke my collar bone colliding with the mast after hitting something in the water off Manly in Brisbane.

Got a new Gopro Hero 7 Black and had it attached to my bike helmet, Probably could have gone a few Knots faster except the centreboard case seal had dried out and broke into pieces causing a huge rooster tail spraying up through the board, 

Sailed over to near False Cape in up and down wind and then made my way up the Cairns harbour to my catamaran which is moored on the piles opposite the Convention Centre. Packed the gear away on the boat and made my way back to the Cairns Yacht Club in the boat dinghy. I then walked home along the Esplanade,
