I've never sailed foreshore before. What's the deal with rigging there? Is there any grass at all, or is it sand / gravel on the roadside?

Hi guys,

Last NW I headed to Kurnell. Its a bit lumpy as its cross-on to the beach. Not really a speed location.

I'm up for an early morning run. Looks like its going to be good very early. Which location is best for a SW?

cool, see you there

yeah great work guys, that is a super effort and Mike a top read on the forum too mate!
Why couldn't you get Remi to join the bloody team ffs!!!!

nah I'm clean, thankfully i didn't seem to spend too much time in the water on Sunday. I was actually making most of my gybes.
Did any GPS team members actually post any speeds or am i the only one? It's a bit sad we have the biggest team in the challenge and yet we can't get more than one person to post speeds on a beautiful windy Sunday arvo out on Botany bay. To make things worse we even have people who haven't posted a single time or session since the challenge started.
Hopefully Summer might bring a few people out of the woodwork they seem to be hiding in and help contibute in some way.
Larko did you get Sam to help you with your tracks?

Did anyone get stung/bitten in Botany Bay on Sunday? My legs look like they're covered in welts!

Didn't get stung - but a couple of close calls with the heavily blinged jet ski crowd and on ahole in a cruiser decided to travel along side of me(about 4-5m) on a tack out causing heaps of wind swirl and a really confused wake. Man how do they manage to keep their licences.

Hi guys,

Sounds like you all had a good day. I was unfortunately landlocked in Singleton for the weekend.

Looking forward to daylight savings next week.

geez, those jet skiers were giving me the absolute irits!! especially the ones on the northern side of the pool. I was amazed that one guy in a small boat actually waved to me to say sorry that he had impeded my course. First time I've ever had that happen.
Out of interest Dav what gear were you on?

I was on an blue exoX117 yellow EzzySE 6.3 - I gave it away at about 3pm - I was knackered after doing that Sydney 50k bike ride earlier in the morn.
Can't wait for DLS - bring it on!

I saw you sailing around Dav. I was on a gun wave sail..

I had a bleedin jet skier spray water onto me out of the jet from about a metre, lets just say my response wasn't friendly.

Is Jimmys close to Shoal Bay as I'm there this weekend...

glad im not the only one with welts from Botany, i got catapulted & landed on top of a jellyfish , soon to have it wrapped around me, set a record time for getting back onto my board.
Wasn't impressed with all the stink boats either, we should throw rocks at them. Had a few 27-29knot runs through the day which mostly made up for the tangle with the jelly.

HI KA43.

I'm up at winda woppa this we, see you on the water I hope, but the forecast doesn't look too good.

Nice, thanks for letting us know.

Can you sail right across the bay?

Can't see why not - probably depends on the direction possible in NE may take two tacks, 4.5km approx in a straight line from the middle of shoal.
