Does anyone know what happened with the bow rider that was beached and swamped on the beach today? I dropped by at 8pm tonight and it was gone.

they eventually pulled it up onto the beach and drained it with the vents then drove a landcruiser down with its trailer and hauled it off

Provided some good entertainment between runs.
How good was that unexpected southerly!

Too good for me. My first time on the water this season and I was buggered too quickly to enjoy it.

At least I got to watch the boat slowly sink while I was resting.

While taking pictures and video of the windsurfing on Saturday one of the blokes helping with the boat gave me the evil eye, as though I was there to video their misfortune.

However one of his friends said something to him and it was all good. I did get some video of the boat in trouble.

I'm planning on making a video of the session so if you'd like to be included let me know what sail and board you were using. I'll see if there is any footage of you and then include you in the video.

Hey, would love to see some video of my sailing. (See just how bad my style is)

I was on a JP 78 FSW (white with black and orange detail) with a Red 5.3 Loft sail. (Large metallic reflective bit on upper section.) Wearing black springsuit.

Thanks,
Harrow.
