Congratulation to Vando his been on the GPSTC since 2007 & has just clocked up 30,000ks as from yesterday 25.10.13 on a sailboard that's a big effort no wonder he is such a good sailor that's what I call dedication to the sport.
He just loves being on the water as most of us do but it helps when you were one of the first to join the TC he started the Moreton Bay Mob here in Brisbane bayside & has helped all in the team & others over the years.
Well done mate from the MOB.

Congrats Michel. Top effort. Yeah I thought 10, 000 was a big deal which I have just reached but then I started at least a year after you in the GPSTC

Still a great effort, 15 years ago I could have given you a run for your money! I understand you gotta go harder than ever now for the WW points, ;)
Keep up the good work

Thanks Hardie I think we can windsurfing just as much in QLD, the only difference is that we would be using bigger sails a lot more.

Thanks for all you comments everyone, I did have had a head start on most being in the comp from the beginning.
Big thanks to my very understanding Wife as well

Possibly already did
I can't believe Vando had GPS on on all occasion in that time so in fact he could easy circumnavigate the globe already
