If that is Heisenberg effect or quantum specialty

That something is perceived as paradise for one and prison for another at same time same spot




Should I escape, burn the passport and then go back by boat to have this premium holiday ?
I wonder If they have govermnent sponsored gear latest edition or I need to carry my own board with me
Dumb me !!
If they have the best grear they may try to escape to dry land

That is a good question, has anybody been there and can tell? Maybe there would be an opening for a gear hire on the beach

^^^ Hmm a quick scope of the island on google earth showed 2 or 3 beaches.

Lots of big scary though, such a shame...

Hmm, wasn't there a thread recently about launching a kite from a boat?

I knew it would have been a catch!

A friend who is a kite addict went up there for a work a few months back, he didn't take his kites because the idea of launching from a cliff didn't appeal to him.

Neighbour is up there now and he is a surf nut, left the boards at home too, but he did take fishing gear...

Lived and worked there years ago , the only wind fun to be had , was the day after a night at Tracks tavern or the Golden Bosun ,[}:)] fantastic diving , lots of bugs and painted crays, few big lurkers , but plenty of food for them.
filling up at the servo one day I watched someone pull in a mack that went beyond 40 kg's!!!in a 12 ft tinnie, awsome place to fish
Get a few small waves in Flying Fish Cove on the right swell , but not really worth the effort. 50 mtrs ofshore around most of the island the reef drops from 10 -20mtrs to in some places to beyond 500 mtrs.
not unusual to see supply ships doing circles way out to sea, cause it's to rough to put in to port , and too deep to anchor.

Well that tells all, the illegal protesters must all be surfers, kiters or windsurfers and they are not happy there as the conditions and topography of the Island is not good for wind/waves sport, Julia is doing them a favour sending most of them to Bali! The peeps smugglers are bringing the wrong illegal tourist around, bad marketing they should direct the advertising to the sport fishing community and advertise the menu:
Breaky: bacon & eggs
Lunch: pork chops chips in beer batter
Diner: roast pork, jacket potatoes fried in lard
