Just wondering whether casual sailing is permitted on GI during the competition? I have never been to GI before, have a trip booked in the last two weeks of July, not sure what to expect

There were quite a few non competitors in 2019, out just enjoying the delights. Come, enjoy. The more sails the merrier I reckon.

I'd like to sail there sometime. Can you leave your gear on the island if you go at other times? E.g- go across in the ferry daily but leave the gear on the island?

Hey Sue, there is a shed, where we all store gear. It can be safely left there. It's where the lifesavers hang out in front of the swimming area.

Looks like I will be locked out due to Sydney lockdown. Bugger. Bet that Qld lifts entry restrictions the day G I starts just to rub it in. Enjoy.
If you think that sounds pissed off you are very perceptive. But let the glass be half full. At least Muz won't have to worry about me beating him again. And the new board purchased for G I will go its second year without use, that's great, less wear and tear. And my new fin won't get smashed on the reef. And I won't risk death on the MTB park. And I will save a ****load of dough. And the grass will be closely watched.

It could be worse. They could let you in and the next day request to self-quarantine in the hotel for two weeks Hope it helps

Melbourne seems to be allowed, it's going to be my first time sailing on GI, just curious what's the best place to stay in Cairns?

If Sydney exits lockdown Friday 16th when do you reckon qld will open border? Shortly after event ends?
I will take off for Qld if possible but still going glass half full.
You don't want to know what half empty looks like.

Its not looking good for flying out of Sydney for a while. I cancelled my travel bookings on Wednesday when the lockdown extension was announced, if things improve then I can rebook and get to the briefing and sign on. Have entered anyway, we are very lucky to have an event like this in Australia, the experience of racing at GI is the best! I was so looking forward to the margaritas too.

I am worried about state of origin at Newcastle a 15000 person Petri dish

Yeah how come sport comes above community safety?

Anyone else been for some icy cold practice sessions? Super keen for my first Green Island event, see you on the reef!

Coz they're a bunch of footy flogs who think their sport is above infection. Cmon people its all about the $$$.

Commonsense prevailed. ( or $ as usual). They weren't allowed to have spectators at Newcastle so they've moved it to Qld..phew..

Training continues in the cold rivers all over Tas . plenty of ice and single digit water temps have me dreaming in green.
Cant wait to get back to this spectacular and ideal location for such a well organised event!! Super tough times to organise any event and I would like to throw thanks towards the organisers for pushing on in challenging times .

I have been waiting 3 years for this one and it sure is a shame some may not be there but all I can say is .. It's worth the wait. Fingers crossed for best outcomes for everyone.
