I would like to apologise to all windsurfers and kitesurfers for making my new windsurfing trailer, seems ever since I started this project there has been no wind....

I will be destroying it on Saturday morning as a sacrifice to the wind gods!

Normal wind paterns will return soon after

Keep the trailer. It makes me feel better not being able to sail when theres no wind lol. I'm not missing out on much at the moment which is a good thing. Excellent work.

Ahh master Dave - before you sacrifice the 6x4 to the wind gods please consider.

There has been wind - you just have to be in the right spot - the mid coast had good northerlies wednesday

(no waves though) overpowered on a 5.4 for an hour - not a sole around - saturday morning - krankin 4.7 nw/w - no one around

- friday afternoon good w 6.4 at snaps - no one around

.

I thought everyone had gone into hibernation

Had a great sail with the Whyalla dudes on Sunday Dave. And anyway the fishing is great.

Where did you sail in Whyalla and are there still some sailboarders that have not gone flying kites?

Those wheel bearings will be rusted out before you get to use it again Dave - there is no end in sight to this awful sunny calm warm weather.

The sea and Vines festival is on over the long weekend and it always saeems to pour and blow its bits off for that so fingers crossed.

Getting desperate enough to go for a surf at middleton - I am sick of pacing the house on the weekend lookin for something to do.

Great spot for kiting.I windsurfed there for 12 years on a wave board,at what we then called the boreshore. Windsurfing can be a lot of fun out of town at the Point Lowly Lighthouse.Did you by any chance catch the name of the lone sailboarder Susie? Iwas there about 12 months ago and knew most of the guys and a very good friend was the only one persisting on a sailboard.
