If there's enough water I'll join you. The wind is now forecast into Saturday so that monkey might be off your back

Might have to go to Bongaree, or try out the delta like Pope John was.

Finally had a sail, REALLY gusty. Started with 6.6 for one run and went down to 5.0 and was still maxed out in the gusts. Sailed on Moulting lagoon, shallow, dirty amd weedy so I used the 24 fangy on the naish and the board was too big so went down to the f2 and a 20 Delta but was having loooong spinouts in the choppy sections. Best was only 28 knots, most of the time trying to stay in control in the gusts.

Welcome to paradise ......................


I went out first up with the 125 litre Blast and a 5.3 wave sail sacked right out for power, went from overpowered to couldn't handle the big holes in the wind so came in and set up the GO and went back out with the 5.3, ran out of power again in places so came in and changed to a 5.5 freeride sail. This went ok till I got blown off the water as the tide dropped. John pulled the pin when it blew real hard as he left his 4.5 at home, I'd had enough and Mark didn't even bother rigging up. We left Adam chasing 2s of glory in the flatter water as the tide dropped and another unknown gentleman who was blasting around on wave gear. Till tomorrow ............

More stunning gentlemen's sailing conditions today at Sandstone. The wind dropped back to around 14-15 knots so it was time to get the big sails and big fins out again. I sailed with John for a couple of hours before Mark, Adam, Jeff and JV Jonno showed up for a late session. Wind was a bit up and down in the end as it slowly dropped out and I had to get home because mummy had me on a timetable. Another classic day with warm, clear water and sunny skies and eagle rays

Man alive, that's nothing like what Sandstone looks like in 25 knots, lovely!

Hey Sandstoners, check the forecast for next week. These mid-week SE blasts seem to be never ending, lucky we've got weekends to rest up

Yo Sandstoners, talk about March Madness. This has been the most constantly windy month at GB ive encountered. 16 of 25 days on the water, so far.My body doesnt STOP aching. Tennis elbow is going rank. But i do luv using 7.5 instead of 9.5. Rack em up for another fun week!

My mum used to tell me the same thing Bradley .............. "if you've got nothing nice to say ............ then ................"

There was this bloke who used to come sailing with us a while back ........................ I think his name started with D ............................

There was ayoung
There was an old man from Sandstone
Who always was told to stay home
He said "it's high tide and south east and Im going to tame the beast"
So now he sleeps on his own

Hi guys, brutal session at GB this arvo. Wind was 18-25kt,fun enough with 7.5lion. But the chop was totally outta control. Couldnt hold down either RB. In the air more than on the water. Funny as, full noise slammin the 380 phantom across the chop when the centreboard just drops all the way down while im in the straps, powered to the max.BOARD INSTANTLY RAILS THEN GOES SKYWARD.....BIG STACK. Spray flying for about 80m!! Paddles, think i found my RB limit today.
Back for more 2moro!!!

A couple more pbs from the Pope.. must be something in the water.

Lovely outgoing flatwater session this morning

i had fun with 8.5ezzy lion and the old freeformula 168

mark turned up late and was enjoying the extra wind

Last sail in Tas today, had a great time over here. Today's session wasn't anything to rave about due to my choice of gear but i got some rigging practice...
Water wasn't too cold either. Forecast looks good for the trip across the ditch home.
