Just finishing my cuppa and going. Might find a couple of couches to stay on too.

Will be there after lunch

Sorry Bob, Sandstone today mate.

There's no wind at Sandstone at the moment hope it comes in after lunch.

Yep, only 10 at the most here at the moment, tomorrow's the day if it doesn't come in after lunch today

In that case i'll come tomorrow.

In that case i'll come tomorrow.

Good call, it's lucky if it's 5 here now. Tomorrow is looking way better.

Gentle - no wind conditions today

lots of sitting around enjoying the company and delightful sunshine

on on the water lightwind tacks and gybes while grooving to Sean stereo blasting JJJ across the water

Dags reliving his youth practicing freestyle on the wally

mark the beginner is underway with his JPfunster with some coaching from Dags

we we even had some entertainment from the Kiters ....




cheers Jeff

mark the beginner- doing well

Awesome to see Sean the Kiter having a go on the wally and also to see Mark with some gear and coming down for a sail, it's never too late to learn hey, good stuff.

Thanks everyone for making me welcome. Learnt heaps from Dags (Darren?) & had a ball. Just walked the dog along the Bribie passage foreshore and it's blowing a gale out there - but then I thought there was enough wind today! Hope to get back soon.

Anyone going to sandstone?

Yeah Bob, I think Adam is already there. I'm heading over shortly, wind is a bit funny here at Beachmere though, hopefully it'll be better over there.

I'm shot to pieces now and can't sail today, maybe tomorrow for me now.

Good to meet some very old faces from years back at Pebble Beach today. We have all aged well and good to see everyone still doing some wind sports. Anyone like to undo kite line tangles as I have a beauty which should take me a few hours to undo. Forgotten how good the place is for flat water blasting and did a few runs over to the channel and had some nice pressure swells starting to form. Need to get me a wave board for those ballistic days that we all used to have at the old wreck site. If you don't mind a tea bagger to join in I may come up for a few more sessions.
Alex

Sandstone delivered yet again! Fantastic arvo {Wade you should of been here } Wow it got busy on the water,... kites and sailboards everywhere.

I had a great day today, thanks to everyone. Starting to get feet into straps on a more consistent basis.
I don't even feel tired, so my technique must be improving.
On another note, did anyone pick up a fairly new pair of windsurf goggles maybe over near the cars?

Is anyone sailing at Sandstone point today, thought I might venture up there as bom has a slightly better forecast for northern and eastern bay. What time of the tide is needed. Does inner beacon give a good indication of wind speed there.
I usually sail at Redcliffe.
cheers

3 or 4 people said they were selling today I am on my way

Too windy for me today only did a couple of runs. Today sorted the boys from the men. I was on a 5.3 and well overpowered

Yep a good meet up today
surprised how well sandstone worked with the Se-ssw winds

as per forecast wind was dying when Adam(king) and I arrived to catch pope john and dags bagging out their 5.* sails.

I was keen to get time on the 123 super sport with 7.5 ezzy and 43 fin

Boys said the fin was too small but I said after seeing what they sail at Burrum every fin we use is huge!

had a great run out on the board - first planning run on it - wahoo. Wasn't game to go for rear strap however already going as fast as I did at Burrum :-)

A little adjusting and off across the bay both feet in straps, feeling comfortable and fast

THUMP......... I'm over the front!!!!!***^!!??








So a long walk in dragging the board and the log ashore.

Alls well - busted fin and harness lines.

cheers Jeff

I agree Jeff.
The smallest fin you can that will still let you go in a straight line.
Maybe shorter for you so you dont hit things

Got a 26 weedy on the way. Now I just need to stop working to sail.

Good to get a few day's on the water. Yesterday was great to see so many on the water.
Great to have Alex come out of nowhere and surprise us "Old crew from the Wreck day's", and reminisce about day's of old.
Parso (Mark) is sailing very well for such a small amount of time on the water. A fast learner, and will be zipping around in no time. Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk Bob. Yesterday I spent too much time stuffing around rigging.
Today was ballistic! 4.7 wave sail and still out of control. Too much work for me! Not many Km's today.
Good to meet Lungs today who had a good session. Nice bloke and a very good sailor. I wish Dave had a GPS on him, because he did some crazy Km's. I didn't think he was going to stop. Almost out of sight most of the time. Lot's of green arrows ahead.

Paddles, are we losing ya mate? Come back to the light.

I'm having a shocker, every time I think I'm good to go over the last couple of weeks.......... I'm not. Hopefully it backs off a little tomorrow, it was damn windy here today, no good for me.

Thanks to the locals of Sandstone point for the warm welcome. Its a nice spot you sail at. Sorry but I can't remember all your names, apart from Adam who mentioned an encounter with a tiger shark, before I hit the water.
Thanks Darren for the Kind words, but flattery gets you nowhere. Seriously when there is some light wind I'll PM you when I bring the kids up for a sail.

Jee wizz, the camera never really show's how much it's blowing.
Was 25-30 at times, but it doesn't look it. The waterstart in the passage show's it though.
