sounds like it would have been la perouse, normally I would have been sailing there in a sw but took my 10yr old for a sail on the otherside of the bay today thank god. nothing turns you a kid off sailing more than a 5-35kt westerly with a 6-7dg temperature topped off by hitting a corpse at full speed, luckily we only got the first few. On the bright side I guess that means that the big great white that was ther last year must have moved on.

Has anyone ever run over a swimmer??? If so what damage happened to the guy or chick, and what happened to your kit?

Not something I would ever want to try out, or for that matter come close to testing

A few years ago (+10) they found a head (only) of a male floating down Cooks River - never quite made it to Kyeemagh - now meeting up with that would be scarey indeed!

Were the dead eyes open?

sorry to disappoint Dan but this must have happened over at Kurnell. I was at La Perouse with two other guys from around 1:30 till 4pm. There where two coppers cruzing about at Kurnell. The Westpac chopper first circled over La Perouse but left for Kurnell after two short passes.

You didn't miss much as far as wind is concerned... it only really kicked in for about an hour or so but went from 25knts to 35knts in about 10 minutes only to completely die buy the time I had rigged a smaller sail. Waste of time really...

I get it, Severed Head, dead eyes open, a Melbourne/Syndey Musical band, was'nt it ??

I remember a floater turning up at GLENELG NORTH S.A.

Infact i was windsurfing watching an ambo trolley being walked out on the break wall ,where the patawalunga lock is..........howling south wester it was ........

So i sailed over to the inside area and some one yelled out there was a missing person ........

Up till that point i thought a boat might be coming in with some one injured ..........

Waterstarting off from behind the the groyne freaked me out .......

Couldnt do much apart looking out whilst sailing in and out and busting big air.

With in 1 hour........20 other punter had hit the water and there were 3 choppers and news crews right over head .........100feet.

2 hours later on dusk ,this dood floated up just around the corner from the groyne........

All of us had been sailing right over the dood He gotta mention on that nights news........

FLOATER OR FLOGGER ? I THINK he was smashed and right out of it AND jumped in , the current was ripping and the water was cold and dirty ..............
