At least for the Cold Ghost. Certainly more sandbanks than the previous photos.
Especially this one:

just checked out my house from evl's link and the additions i added less than a year ago are there, so yes updates have been made and i am nude sunbaking next to my pool.....whoops. ![]()
i've been told it's proppa name is windsurf island and they've loaned it out to the kiters for a bit until the redevelopment starts, and then they have to give it back ![]()
that's where we used to sail many moons ago, from Burrows street.
I'm talking well before kiters existed, back when the Cochrane brothers thought they were fast, and a certain Mr Brown was often seen on flat water.
And GreenLeader...not to worry, the microscopic version of google earth isn't out yet, so nothing to see here.
"High tide you can go all the way across with a nice little lagoon effect."
On sunday i sailed the lagoon at jumpinpin in the north-westerly-great uncrowded spot! only a few moored boats to dodge.
then sailed 8km back down the Broadwater but ran out of wind at Tipplers and had to swim the rig in at south straddie. next time will have to take a bigger board to get through the lulls.

Leaves from Haircut's back door too.
Eh, eh? ![]()
