Thanks for the photos Daffy, I have been following the srite ups and speeds with great interest. Apart from the mud it sounds excellent.

A couple of shots from the rigging area looking out to the lake...

Nice pics boys !!
I like the way no one mentioned how shallow it looks.. how dangerous it is and turned the post into a negative, it must only happen to me.
funny people from NSW will want to travel all that way wen theres at least 3 places just as good much closer but there too dangerous LOL
good to see ya smiling faces boys :_)
no wind in nsw just lots of rain shame we cant power a rainsurfer I'd be cracking 45 for sure !! ha ha
have fun !! live life keep smiling

Leo, you know there is a BIG difference between this place and where you have been sailing. The bottom of Lake George, as is well documented by all who have sailed there, is weed and soft deep mud. Your spots are weed and sand bottomed and a lot less forgiving. I think if you read the posts almost everyone has mentioned how shallow it is. This is no more graphically illustrated than Spotty's pics above.
No one is negative about where you have been sailing, people are just looking out for your wellbeing when you are pushing the boundaries a little. You kind of contradict yourself above saying there are 3 places just as good and closer than Lake George BUT you say they are more dangerous. That's exactly why we don't sail them!
Sorry to thread hijack, I still would love to sail there one day

...., don't crash out here either its a painful slog back in knee hi sludge/mud with weed on top.

I wish you told me that before I went out


I had the two hour trudge back to the car with the wreckage...but it was still a great day

And the wreakage is still on the island. I forgot to get it

awesome photos,

i'd be too scared. it looks shallow

There's nothing to hit!

It's difficult to imagine another substance on Earth that would slow you down more gently and safely.

Extracting yourself, however, is another matter entirely...

aus1111. that's good to know.

i love the photo of spotty, screaming along at 40+ knots and what's goingthrough his mind.....

ummm i wonder what the head of the sail is doing, i might just have a quick look.

either that or he has wind.
