There is no doubt June is the ****test month on the calendar for windsurfing here in Mackay. Hence bathroom and laundry renovation is making good progress.

So... putting it out there for the NQ crew. Who is keen for a gathering in Bowen on the 10/11 July, subject to weather shaping up OK. We all keep talking about it, time to make it happen folks. I need to get up there to pick up the new LT (thanks Dennis) so might as well make a weekend of it. Who's in? ...Troy

Just as well I now have one of those! Still 14 days out, so just planting a seed at this stage. Can easily be postponed to suit.

I am working round sailpilot's roster. Would need to be 2 weeks later, but that is right on the brink of GI nats, so won't work. Might play it by ear.

What's the location of the sailing spot in Bowen and what are the best tides and wind for it?

Out front of Port Denison sailing club, Gordon. Tides not as critical as Mackay, maybe a 50m carry at low tide. Hopefully we are not all locked in by then.
