Just got to love these days. Up at dawn, 2 hours sailing on small gear. Then pack up and go to work. All while the other windsurfers are sleeping and sooking they are getting no water time. Wakey wakey, hands off snakey!

Jon is still sailing!! The mongrel!!

Bugger. My shoes are on and i have to go.

Jon just came in complaining he needs a smaller sail. 4.7 was his suggestion.
Jon Bouillir is leaving the Gold Coast this weekend. We are having some farewell drinks at the North Kirra SLSC from about 5pm Thursday Arvo. He is leaving us, so come along and bid him farewell for his new existence in Torquay Vic.
