Here's an idea for you Mark
Why not go up to people who are not doing the right thing and in a friendly manner explain to them the rules and why this they important to follow
But somehow I think you are incapable of doing that. The only way you seem to do things is to behave like a bullying police officer
These Forums are dead you really should find other ways of communicating that is effective

Sounds like a plan i could possibly handle. Thanks. I've done some decent repairs but this one i'm not sure how to build it out.
When you say bog, you mean epoxy and qcell? I'm just not sure how that would hold while trying to build out. Maybe i need to try and feel it out as i haven't worked much with bog.

I need to get my ratio's right. A mate gave me a surfboard to fix once, i added lots of qcell to big hole, it went like a volcano, smoke and pretty much fire. Sent him a vid of progress, he didn't see the funny side at that point, but i fixed in the end and painted a pretty picture over it so all good

With light winds around on the weekend I headed out my local creek for a glide around the bay on my race board. Only about 12 knots, and as I was crossing in front of the local long jetty, probably 300 metres away from it I hear a lot of yelling as things turned to crap.
Still a bit of a blur, and still doesn't make sense, but I sailed into a fishing line up at head level. The thick, rainbow coloured, highly tensioned line took my hat off while I tried to work my way out of it. It felt like the owner was still winding, or worse still, maybe something big was on the line up near the surface, because I cannot work out how it had that much elevation so far from the jetty which is only about 3 metres above water level. Trying to flip the sail to get away was difficult, and when I did , the noise of the line on the leech was ugly, but after a while I got away.
Has anyone had anything similar lately? I see there are all sorts of drone boat/aircraft things to get lines offshore, and these guys are always trying to get bull sharks for sport, and their hook setups are pretty ugly. I looked to sea and saw nothing during and afterwards.
Heart rate recorded on the watch was nearly 4 digits.
First thing I did yesterday was dig around in the spares and found a quick cutting DaKine safety blade thing from kitesurfing, now attached to the lifejacket permanently. It would have saved me from what could have been a lot worse (although the bogans might have been waiting at the ramp afterwards).
HNY!
