Well, the southerly wind kicked in, and down I went to the bay. Got a prime parking spot too. Then I pulled out my sails and boom to start rigging up, then went to get my mast. NOT THERE !!!

Well, just sat around and stared at the water for an hour before going back home - very annoyed, and not looking forward to the chores I had to do when I got back. I'd had a shocker of a week at work, and had been looking forward to getting out Sunday arvo no matter what it was like.

Aaaaauuuugggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

(Thanks to the nice fellow who offered to lend me a mast, but alas by that time, it was almost time for me to go home.)

Poor Harrow.

its a bit like only taking your big sails when you really should have taken the size smaller ... and there is not enough time to go home then back to the beach ...

cheer up harrow,

been there to.

drove for 2 hours to sail on the lake, rigged up got everything ready and then realised i left the harness in brisbane...

now i got 1 gear bag and 2 plastic boxes.

Ey Harrow,

We've all been there, once I forgot my board

Now I've got a checklist stuck to the fridge, it's got everything I need to take on it, just before locking up I run through the checklist. I did that after forgetting my harness for the 5th time...

Oh yeah, the harness is the worst thing to leave behind - because technically speaking, you can get out there and sail, but practically speaking, well, it's just not practical.

I remember going out after forgetting my harness, and trying to hold my harness line with my teeth to give my arms a bit of a rest. Seriously! (Maybe that's why my harness lines used to wear out so quick.)

once i went the beach and forgott my cat at home. i went home and taped here on the mast.
