Going to Lindeman for a week in January, is it worth taking my kit and risking divorce? Staying at the club med, I have tried searching the net but info is nil, any observations would be welcome.

Not the ideal location as the resort bay (small beach at the end of the runway)faces south into the passage between Lindeman & Seaforth isalnd, the link below gives you a basic idea www.sunzine.net/whitsundays/whitsundays-island-map.html but unless you get a good SE'r it's not going to be much chop as any northerlies will be offshore. My advice for what's it's worth...leave your gear at home & get the brownee points up for a trip to better sailing locations!!

However I would recommend checking the chart before you depart....if there is a big high down south or Tropical Low up off Cairns take your gear!!

Doesn't Club Med offer windsurfing as an activity?

I alway thought they did as its part of their watersports programme.

If they don't there will be heaps of other activities you can do there, thats what Club Med is all about isn't it?

Hopefully their windsurfers are not ancient Dufour Wings.

Yes they offer windsurfing but i imagine it will be pretty low end stuff,i could be wrong, went to a club med in Turkey years ago, they didnt have harness lines or harnesses hence my eagerness to take my own,Never mind we will see what am i going to talk to her about for a week!!!

No I think you are right. Went to Lindeman 12 months ago. Had some long boards and some Bic Techno 293s. Only rigs they had in usable condition were triangular 3 or 4 sqm learner rigs.

Could pay to ring and ask what they have now as they claimed they had better gear but was broken at that time.
