What a great arvo at bongaree, wahoo, smiles everywhere. Hoping for more on the weekend.

I get occasional Seabreeze Windsurfing Digest update emails, and it was great to see the Sandstone Seabreezers thread at the top of the listings and see all the news and photos of you guys getting out and enjoying it. Janet and I have not been windsurfing once since the day we were out on our new Naish GTs and I catapulted and smashed 5 ribs at Sandstone and ended up in hospital for Christmas, two years ago now. We both want to get back into it again but haven't made it happen. A very lamentable state of affairs, and there's no good excuse really. We bought a rural property up in the bush at Bellthorpe a year ago so even though we've "semi retired" now, working on the property and preparing to get a house built up there for us to live and care for our disabled daughter has kind of taken life over a bit. Please accept our shamed solemn confession of windsurfing failure and if we do show up at Sandstone again sometime I hope you don't ostracise us, slash our sails or something worse.

A few Wally LT's at Sandstone today.

A little Wally time with gentle breeze at RQYS this morning

Tacks and gybes......




Bit different to Thursday arvo - hanging onto 7.5 for grim life in the bribie passage waiting for the wind and waves to settle

cheers Jeff

Wow! Glad I didn't waste a trip. Should've put the boat in instead.
Would have been really frustrating, even on the LT.

That's cool!!

I had one of those stickers on a paddlepop skateboard when i was a kid n lived near the ol wreck. Nice retro find there Hardcarve1.

I like the sticker

need a a sticker like that with a windsurfer on it. Are there modern ways to make stickers these days?

Jeff - check out Vistaprint online. They look like they make custom made stickers.

May be also some waterproof label stuff you can run through a colour laser printer?

See you guys there!! Do like it up there

Every Friday can be a good Friday if there's enough wind for sailing. 7.5m day at Sandstone today and pretty flat water made for fun conditions. I hooked up with Jeff, Max, Adam, Mark, Pat and Dag for an early tide dodging squalls. Great to see Dag slowly getting back on deck and also to see Pat having a sail, it's been a while Pat! Looks like squally conditions for a few days now.

sandstone delivers
