Day 3 at burrum and it's ground hog day. Blue skies with scattered clouds an squalls out toward Fraser island.

Bom forecast holding at 20-25 but hoping we might get a little more today if some good squalls push through.

Had some new competitors join the Frey yesterday.

am unable to upload photos from my laptop as no internet dongle.

A few pics from Day 2 at Burrum:

Classic Burrum Mug Shot:

Wind has really kicked in now. Solid 25-30 out on the run. Waiting for the tide to drop. Channel 7 joining us today at the event and out on the speed bank. Course set to open around 1pm

Looks unreal! Half your luck, Well done on the Cytstal Ball weather predicting for best winds ! couldnt have timed it better!Jelly bags I'm not there!...

amazing how much more wind you guys are getting just 2+ hrs North of the Sunny Coast!

Looks sensationa I hate work

We ended up missing channel 7 today. They were in town covering the tornado recovery effort and ran out of time. They will try for tomorrow or 1 more day after that.

We got a mixed bag wind wise. Started off howling but gradually eased as the day went on. A squall came through at the end. Averaged 15-20 most of the day. Got a few 20+ gusts at the end and then the wind died. A few had a long walk back and others got a lift on the barge or one of the boats.

Finished with a BBQ at the burrum sands which is still in progress.

Was a hard day for the crew on the water. Changing conditions but dead flat runs for 1-2 km.

Saturdays results proving hard to beat.

forecast for tomorrow holding

Lots of happy faces. Plenty more photos today so I will try and get them online via an alternative connection. Seems to be a lot of go pro footage to come also.

4 days to go with the comp and it's fair to say we've been lucky. It just keeps blowing.

Thanks Andy and haircut for the awesome photos. They look great!

Day 4.

Clear blue skies today. Currently a light breeze coming off the land.

Forecast for today from the bom is 25-30. So has picked up a touch from yesterday.

looking forward to seeing what today brings

Great Pics! Nice Ezzy Promo shot you can realy see the shape and twist in the sail...

Pull ya finger out Vando ! Just because half your leg is hanging by a few tendons and a bit of gristle doesnt mean you can't do 50 knots !!!

Firiebob (this is a cracker of a photo Haircut)

They're all good, but agree, this one's a corker!

Nice photos Andy,shame no pictures of our fastest sailor,
perhaps he was too fast for the camera.

sorry - all of the pix colours will probably look off if viewing using a browser that doesn't recognise colour profiling (internet explorer doesn't AFAIK and firefox needs it turned on)
