I think I'll plan on turning up around 10am, in case it drops out. Run-out tide until 1pm too.

Cheeky bugger. I wonder if it's worth dropping to a camping store and getting a solar bag to put yer in yer place. Probably get sabotaged while I'm oot sailing.

Good idea. I have a wee stove and a kettle I need to bring too. I really need a 20L water drum for my van too. Next time I'm buying a Sprinter. The big sucker !!!

Err no, im just waiting to sober up more had trouble walking to the corner shops for coffee and bacon let alone drive to the GC. Big day and night at the races then the England Vs USA game so im a little worse for wear at the mo. Trying to talk my missus into driving; dont fancy my chances much, think it might have something to do with backing the wrong horses and loosing too much cash

cheers everyone, the wind didn't come through as promised but it was great to see such a big turnout and really good to finally get the club to shearwater!!! when i pulled in to the carpark i was stunned at the amount of people on the water. fantastic stuff!!!!

after a long session we ended up at paradise point for a bbq and a disappearing sun.

i have a ton of photos from the day. thanks haircut for allowing me to try out your lens collection.

below is a quick selection of photos out of the camera. i'll upload the full album after i have done a quick edit to them. will hopefully have them all online towards the end of the week.

hehe... i was being indulgent. i am a fan of black and white so like to tinker.

colour images are all processed, i just need to upload them and there's a lot so it will take a few days.

Just put them on Flickr and add a link. Easier, better?

The pics are looking better than ever Gesty. In the one of me I'm saying "I sacrificed my first born for this?".
