Loaded gear a quick dip and I'm on the road.

Hope the forecast wind is for real. Hmmm a full moon too.

Well I had a fat time and the wind Gods were very generous.

I was so lucky that I had tied the yacht axle to the trailer, as it had jumped out (I'm guessing as I crossed the railway line on the road, on the way in, as the rails were sticking out of the dirt road 75mm or so).



Got there after lunch. TP1 was already there arriving at 10.30am and had been sailing. Here he is having a rest while he's putting the 3 seater together.

As soon as I had a yacht rigged, it was bum in it and away.



A log of the day's activity including some fantastic strong wind, 2 wheeled night sailing, including a run out to the island and back. It was a fantastic full moon without any cloud. You could have seen everything, even without any lighting on the yachts. We all did have some sort of beacons though.

"You may need to click the TIMING bar under the map for speeds."
Last set of runs are the night sailing after tea.

Got back from the lake at midnight and climbed into the swag pretty worn out.

Up again at 5.50am had breakfast and back into it on the pond with all the other guys having a ball.

Guess who I caught being a "film star" in a Blokart???



I just loved the drone.



Very nice bit of kit. It was very unusual to be chased by a camera at mast top height round the pond.



Lots of guys just having a ball



Here's Mr Shy, getting his melon in focus.



A quick snap shot of Bryan doing a bit of cross dressing.



Off on another film sortie

It was so nice to mix with great people and sail my backside off.

No it is electric,,,,,, that's the only cloud in the sky and a vapour trail from an over head jet bound for Perth.



Lefroy was up to it's usual standard..........PERFECT!!!!!!
