Awesome unbreakable rig wade. Love the trusty sail number. Enjoy many knots of apparent wind she will create. Are you hiding the board racks or are you just gonna hire the gear when you run out of land on the west coast. Beware flinders reef just before you hit the east coast again and don,t forget your GPS.

Your a dribbler JV

Got a quick sail (whilst away for work) down the central coast NSW.
Borrowed some gear from my brother.
Westerly and not too much but was worth getting wet.

That was a quick trip! Budgy is great at the moment -you're getting along nicely!

Thanks wade lam on Peter 140l naish and it powerbox the same as most of my fins see u when the wind blows again nice pics

Looks like Jeff was too shy to tell us about his BMW weekend away weren't you Jeff!!!!!!!
while we were stuck in the doldrums here and he was out with his pack rape bikie mates the best I could do was invest in a couple of new boards.......
What boards I hear you ask?
good question..
Well since I've persued this noble quest of going really fast without dieing or getting seriously incapacitated I decided to invest in a strategy-that would allow me to reach my goal intact..
after perusing all the available speed boards suitable for a 67 year old pensionor I pondered over the available choice of 40 Wide , 50 wide, 55 wide
i thought "what would Bjorn do, what would Robbie do?...
so I carefully invested in a Sputnik 270 ..
This is the Datsun 240z, the Elle Mc Phearson, the Yamaha FJ1200 and the young bloke who has the body I used to have and it looks allright on him now
But I digress....
For only $100 dollars you too could be the proud owners of a Sputnik 270 circa 1995 and Sputnik 290 circa 1996
Seriously fast in their day (as I was)....
So now I have a Sputnik 270, a 2016 KA Koyote, a Maui delta 20 cm speed weed....
What could possibly go wrong???
Wish me luck seabreesers..........
all I need is 25-30 knots and a lowish tide

I'm after about a 36cm Tuttle weed fin if anyone has a spare one lying around.

What are you doing with your bic?

Might try here at near dead low tide in a southerly. Sandbank sits out nice and at a good angle for some reaches heading west. And can call into the Sandstone point Hotel for a beer between runs.

Yep, that just about covers it Andrew

I need a sail.
I am heading out to catch the early high tide tomorrow morning.

Of all goes to plan around 7-30 to 8

OK, catch you guys around 0730-0800, ring or message if you end up heading over the other side.

I'm not going to that side Adam

It's not looking good Sandstone kids. Maybe later on at South Esplanade?

Actually a bit south of South Esplanade, at Victoria Point. Same there, wind seemed to come in after the tide.
Good to catch up the crew from south of the border/river.

Yeah, only one planing run for me, same for Morgan I think. Morgan's son Jay was planning a fair bit on Morgan's new Xite ride.
Pat and Tony went okay on the Lightnings.
Still better than mowing the in-laws acre of lawn, which I amoff to do now!
