nar thats normal. there is a certain breed of sailor that will always show up with cars overloaded with gear, inevitably they also have anemometers and spend most of their day fondling it rather than sailing. It's a plague, but at least it means its not too busy on the water :)

oh btw, jetstar have a sale on at the moment you can fly bris to honolulu for $377 each way, but its like $920 after fees and taxes thou. If you fly from syd, its $860 return after fees and taxes. At the current exchange rate, that could be a pretty cheap maui ws'ing holiday. Was considering going actually, but its a little short notice, might plan WA trip for summer instead.


*edit* I just checked different dates, you can grab return trip to maui, for $680 return all taxes and fees included (from syd). Not bad.

i didnt know you could go straight from Brisbane (direct) i always went to Sydney, give the chicken wraps a miss and take your own food.

Yeah I think u have to go via syd and LA, hence its a bit more $$$ from bris. I'm seriously considering going.. but considering the timing (only free time I have is late nov), I think it would be cheaper + better wind + waves to go to WA instead.

anemometers and SEQLD are a bad mix. if everyone waited for their meter to read 15knots or more, people would hardly ever sail

is that why you werent out windsurfing this arvo Scotty ??? It was good !7m.

Yes , Maui has ruined his inspiration for local windsurfing.... Excuses include, "ooh its too cold" or "ooh it's not windy enough" or " ooh there's no bikini girls" or "ooh theres no sandy beach, I might stub my toe". We may have to soak him in tuna oil and throw him in near Lota Creek......[}:)]..
