Mr No one has done it at night in the ocean! at Scarborough I think he said he could only see the waves when they broke and then he could see the white water.
I think he should change his name to Mr Hellman.

G'day Mike x 2, funny you should mention it.
Just got back from a late one now. Took off from Shoalwater cafe at 5, sailed across to Long point until dark (it was going off!, I didn't want to leave), sailed over four reefs on the way back ( made it over three )and got back by 6.30 via Point Peron.
It was a full moon last night and thought if I stay out long enough it might come out again. The sail Juice spoke of was from 11 to 2am until the 2/3 moon went down, there the kind of sails you remember.

Not bad, we did a similar thing at Bondi Beach, sailed into the night with a 30k wind, some of the public thought we were lost and called the police, Dan and I looked on at what they were searching for, it was us. That was a great sail.

Speaking of channel markers... have you done any bombies off any lately MrNo1?
You have some sick stories to tell Im jelous

yeah i agree i was out with mike and the city lights in the background looked sick. im wondering if i could ever go back to normal windsurfing because that was such a radical experience.

Lots of Xylume sticks and a full moon.
Lots of crew at Woodies had a blast.
It was a few years ago now, might have to give it another try

How many flat batteries????

"What are your Ch'lenge/Personal Sp'dsailing Goals?" from the GPS and Speedsailing Thread. Mine is quite simple..... to see my name in No 1 position on the GPS Top 10 20007 at the GPS Speedsurfing website. Only problem is :
1 Dave White 46.2
2 Mal Wright 45.5
3 Tony Wynhoven 45.0
4 Martin van Meurs 44.6
5 Chris Lockwood 44.3
6 Steve Thorp 43.9
7 Luke Wigglesworth 43.8
8 Bob Cunningham 43.6
9 Andrew Daff 43.2
10 Ian Fox 42.9
plus about another 300 speedsailors worldwide. My solution to this slight hiccup was to go out for a speed session at midnight on New Years Eve. I am fortunate to live on a property which has a frontage onto Lake Connewarre which is a 35 knot plus speedstrip. We had a NY Eve party at the rotunda overlooking the lake. Shortly before midnight I drove down to the watersedge and parked with high beams over the water. Unfortunately light winds meant that I spent the session schlogging but it was pretty spectacular when the fireworks at nearby Barwon Heads lit up the night sky. This year I may try and organise a Serenity for 2008 New Years. After a quick session I rushed up to the house to be the first sailor worldwide to post a speed session for 2007 and logically jump to the top of the GPS Top 10 20007. Unfortunately the GPS Speedsailing website located in Holland some 10 hours behind us could not accept a date of 1/1/2007 when it was still 2006 in the Netherlands. By the time this hitch was sorted out Daffy and the rest of the Sandy Point crew had posted some daylight 2007 sessions from Sandy Point and foiled my plan. Now that the cat is out of the bag I am concerned that the Kiwis will use their 3 hour advantage to get a jump on me for 2008.
I also like to get out at sunset for a sail on the winter solstice before enjoying a pagan bonfire with offerings to the windgods for the following year. I figure that this year must have been a shortage of vestial virgins offered as we have had no wind since.

Red and myself used to think that Cameron deliberately neglected to update the website when one of us managed to beat him in a session A very competitive and easily miffed young lad he is. Unfortunately the truth is that Cam is out of action for windsurfing for a few months and is also not updating the Cremaster site.
