Looking at Queens and it is whitecapping at the moment, blowing about 15knots ESE. Looks like it is backing off and going round more to the east as the day heats up. Get in early if you can. Bring big gear.

Do you think there would be any jobs going at the Cape Moreton lighthouse? It would be great to sail there all day and turn the light on at about say 6pm, make a cup of tea, put on a woolly jumper, light up a pipe (or two!) and keep a watchful eye on the horizon. How hard could it be?

Chuffed I just had quite a good sail at Queens, Had to work my way of the beach a way but the long planing runs from the beach out almost to the pile light were fantastic!

Was the only windsurfer out tho.

I went up to suttons, it looked pretty good. But decided to go down to Sandgate and got swamped by kiters. But at least there were three windsurfers around..

Had some good runs, but it was up and down.. I think redcliffe was the place..

Sorry mate. Won't be able to get away early enough. You'll have to do all the sailing for me.

Wello was light and patchy. The racing was called after an hour or so. Still I had a nice sail with the blokes for a while. Got oped by a squall at about 5.0 pm :)
