Thought you'd enjoy it, Bob, from a FNQ perspective. We all love our sport; Brendan put that love into practice in atrocious conditions.

. . . Has that island in the fog lost a tree?

Yes, Ian, the willow trees have been removed from Spinnaker Island, and there's no longer a pronounced wind shadow in its lee.

There's been a concerted effort to clear the regional waterways of willow. It is now classified as invasive, noxious weed.

FNQ? Lord Howe? What lovely options!

When I was young and stupid I did that . Now I'm old and stupid I went to work ,outside with no cover
