hey vando, thought you might have tried the strip with the SE?

it's been great to get these unexpected breezes. next week looks fantastic, although i will be back at work wello will be awesome with the easterlies.....

got out on the fish today with the 6.4 prob should have taken the 7.4 and the spitfire but any chance i get to ride the fish and i'm keen.

tried haircuts setup today, very slick.... the tabou handles really well, very nice board. (cheers haircut)

Hey Justin,
I was wondering where the Shearwater launch is. If memory serves you said its at the end of Lae Drive? Looking at the street directory I see a street called "Shearwater Esplanade". Is that it? Jennifer Av I guess is the Jennifer Av just to the south of that across the canal?

Had a nice sail at Wello today. I went down just to get wet for a change fully expecting to just putz about in 6 knots and bugger if it didn't blow fit for a 7.0. Had a nice time being passed by Vando and crashing in my push tacks. I've never even come close to getting one of those. Come on summer.

hi md74 - it would be great to meet another fellow forumite. i met a few of the guys on the goldie last week. really enjoyed the sailing down there. in 4 days i used the formula, slalom and wave gear..seems i just missed you at kirra as well.

glad you like the locations guides. once i have sailed at currumbin i will write something up as well. come along to the wanderers some time and grab a snag. next meet to be announced soon.

hi Notwal - thanks mate. anytime you want to take a trip down the coast let me know and i'll join in. this weekend i am off to bribie for fathers day. will get some photos to add to that section of the locations guide as well. i grew up sailing around bribie so it is very familiar to me. will be good to sail there again.

If you guys have any request for the website or any locations you think should be added then post away.
