Day 6 of The Great Downwinder.
Arrived in Sydney 7 days ago and began to feel guilty cos my being here was robbing one of you guys back home of a place
Then thought, "now thats just bein plain silly"
Decided all I could do about it was to make sure I had THE BEST time possible
AND I AM
This is one awesome event.
Check the pics & updates on the site :

All the info there - more from me later (Im too busy havin a good time to sit here any longer.
And dont forget to vote - its gotta be your best chance ever to win - let alone to win a trip 4 2 2 Mauritus

Lay day today
Very freaky weather happening here in nth NSW
Used our downtime by dropping into classic Oz surf spot - Crescent Head
Awesome place - definately did not disappoint expectations.
Surfers amongst the crew had their fill of head + half faces even in the sloppy conditions.
Smiles all round
Locals planning on joining in tomorrow should phone in for updated plans as its too flukey to call early.
Looking good for the run home to Sydney once this shytty pattern moves on.
Last few nights spent under cover in abandoned educational establishments - thank gawd for school hols - it would have been miserable tenting it in the rain

Foods fantastic - company is even better and the stories just keep on coming - THIS IS GOOD - come along & join us - night or day - it never stops

We have ferried south to try to exit the northern weather pattern.
Staying at Old Bar - east from Taree - for 2 nights.
Weather is being very uncooperative but alternative activities keep on coming.
Disappointing about the qty of kiting but othrwise ALLs Good
