Reward.

This is the second time this wanton mistress of a board has run away from me!
Thanks go to the honest kiting community and Kitepower Sans Souci for bringing her back to me last time.

Check out the brown arrows that took her away! That spike at 1:15 pm (1/10/2013) Kurnell was the one that got me .
At 138 x 43 her planing area was a little big for the conditions. I was easily planing on just my toenails with the board unceremoniously abandoned several hundred metres behind (just offshore from the Bonna Point boat ramp).

The wind was pretty much a straight westerly at the time so she could have made a beeline toward New Zealand. I couldn't find her anywhere along the shore from Bonna Point to Captain Cook Park.

However it was an incoming tide and the last time I lost her off Sandringham she had chugged along with the incoming tide despite the 25 knot Sou-Wester blowing against her. If that is the case she could be now caressing the shores of Towra or skulking around the oyster leases of Quibray Bay. I wouldn't be surprised if she made it all the way to Sandringham again.

If you find her let me know what you think a fair reward would be. A case of your favourite beer?

I'd love to have her in my arms again.

Good news. My Bulldozer is back!

Well she'd clearly had a big night. We sometimes describe people as "A little rough around the edges" but after a full night of the wind and windswell bashing her against the rock groynes at Kurnell she is very rough around the edges indeed. Looks like she's had plastic surgery with a chainsaw in parts but she's back and she still works.

Thanks to anyone who kept their eye out.
