Was it any good?

I am hoping for some sunshine to come through this afternoon, that will bring out the topless chicks and the sand will also appear. Then all we need is the water to become nice and clear and a reef to form and we will have Maui.

I'll get onto the local council.

no complaints scot, i was out for almost 2 hours on my 5.3 only off the plane briefly, thou I think average wind speed was probably only about 16kts, nowhere near the 30kts+ at cape moreton.

some goggles would have been good to deflect the rain.

I'm working on a pair of goggles for the military right now but think they will suit us as windsurfers perfectly. I'll keep you informed but knowing development projects they may be a year off. Hopefully I can score one of the prototypes for those nor easters that fry your eyes and the rainy days also.

Are you going out today?

Its getting harder and harder to get sessions in after work as the boss is getting upset with me driving around with my board strapped to the roof of the van, he thinks it gives a bad image to the company. I did ask him for a larger van so i could store everything inside, i dont think he likes this idea. .
