I met a 'Duncan' who was an engineer on the wind turbine project a year or 2 ago, if that's him?...sounds like he has the perfect job, following work around the coast to the windiest places doing engineering on the towers. He mentioned he worked at one of the w/surf shops in Melb whilst at uni.
Ha-ha, just remembered, last I heard from him he had 'attempted' to go out in huuuge conditions for a wave sail, after I declined his offer due to 'work' and decreasing aggets (40+kts with a 4.0m from memory), sent me a sms that he got thrashed...hope he's kept up the gutsy attitude.
