ok, here's a couple of questions i've been wondering about.
A: What do windsurfers do as their next most favourite activity? It seems there's quite a few motocross riders in the sailing community, both amongst seabreeze members and the pro riders: for my part if I'm not windsurfing, I'm surfing or fishing or drinking red wine.
B: What do you all do for a job? I'm in the mineral exploration industry, and work in remote places like south west Tas and PNG.
I'd be keen to hear what the rest of you do.

Easty, there's a second favourite activity, where, which one thought there was only one, windsurfing.
Me, Mobile mining equipment with Caterpillar dealer, probably best job I have had ever, Good healthy market share makes it that much better, but its not a job for those who don't like the pressure of maintaining such gear for demanding customers Gets me all over WA mine sites, and visits now and then to rest of Aus. Sometimes if am real gooda trip OS.

Ha Mineral 1, most of my job involves managing a couple of Cat dozers, some excavators, some tilt tray crawlers with cranes, and they are always requiring parts and servicing, which usually means slinging in gear with helicopters or some serious bushwalking to get the stuff in. I always make sure I get to do the chopper runs!! But get to see some awesome country, and shift work is good for getting some good wind (usually).

Howdy guys,

I'm a Logistics operations supervisor, which at the moment means that I over see / administer for 4 accounts for 4 different customers, goods inwards / outwards and everything else in between.

I was right into Nitro R/C up untill I discovered windsurfing, way before that I was a sports nut but other than windsurfing I do a bit of swimming and walking Thats as hardcore as I get off water, oh yeah I like to fish.

Cheers

GT
