Sue & I are driving from Bris calling in at different locations along the coast doing some camping & hopfully some sailboarding I'm into speed sailing as some might know so we would love too catch up & have a sail with any locals. I'm thinking of taking my 112lt for sure & either a 92lt or my 83lt speed board as I don't want to take gear I don't need & a few sails not sure which of the smaller boards to bring for places like Green Island? If anyong can help on that please do as you know the conditions up your way this time of year. Been told too go to & thinking of stopping at Elliot Heads,Seventeen Seventy, Gladstone,Yepoon ????? Mackay????? Townsville then onto Cairns, Yorkeys, Green then head back down home. We leave Bris on about the 29th June & have 4 weeks for our trip so please PM me for a meet up or a sail I will try to up date where I'm am provided I have internet coverage. O & can you all arrange some sun pls. Thanks Glynn & Sue
Hi Glynn I have sent you a PM. We are heading to Kurrimine all of August, leaving mid July and plan to be back on the Sunny Coast early Sept. Looking forward to any other windsurfers along the way. O and looking for the wind & warmth as well
Hi Glynn, firstly congrats on the 40knots. That's a cracking result. We had the AWA AGM the other night and a couple of the guys were absolutely raving about Green Island. Might be a good idea to spend more time there than at other spots. I love Elliot Heads and have also heard Bowen is a great spot.
Hi Glynn, The 83lt with sub 25cm fin would be a great combo for the Green Is speed run just not sure how much use it will get elswhere. Look for a 1.4-1.6 neap tide and the SE trades should deliver the rest. Have a great trip !!
Had a good quick sail at Bowen but have now arrived at Kurrimine beach not looking too good as its raining will be staying here for a few days hoping to arrive at Cairns for the weekend. Hoppybob if you can pm me yes would love so free parking at cairns.
Phil, after we left bowen we drove into rain ended up at kurrimine beach & pretty much had to camp in the rain it's stopped now but no wind the whole time or just crappy squally stuff anyway heading to cairns today to stay with Hoppybob don't look like wind or tide will b that good but will go out sun or mon to gi. Thanks Phil & Suzzy, Troy & Gill again for your hospitality.
Went to Tinaroo dam yest drove around the dam road was dirt the whole way full of pot wholes & corigation we thought we were lost but finally came out at Tinaroo dam wall then Kaina we rocked up late at Herb & Lyns house late but just in time for lunch. No wind on the dam so didn't get a sail there but we had a gr8 day. Thanks Herb & Lyn for having us.
Got a sail on green island was told I picked a bad tide but least I got out thanks hbob & kel for helping me get out & have a sail I will try today again but looks choppy again just gota let my buffet brecky go down.
Good to meet and look after both of you Glynn & Sue, hope the wind comes up while you are at Bowen. Going to Kurrimine with the mob 'till Monday or Tuesday....see if I can get into a bit more sailing. Sail and drive safe. O yes ...and fly safe
