that nice picture makes it very easy to understand. you'd have to be an idiot to need any further clarification......
So is that blue flag up yellow flag down, or green flag down when the blue flag goes up
or is yellow flag up when the green flag goes down or all flags up and all flags down By the way can you draw us a picture of the course

Richie,
Are those green squares east of the rock wall submerged shipping containers full of phosphate? Also would like to see an oil slick and some dead birds on the diagramme.
answers. 1. we may have to paint the start boat (to avoid confusion)
.............2.Esky goes on rockwall for easy access
.............3.green squares are the barrier of the no go zone for the spectator fleet.
(there will be no big yellow arrow to show wind direction)
toxic waste, dead sealife, crab pots, oil slicks, and shipping containers, shall be marked with isolated danger beacons.
and, yes I had had a few beers before I drew the picture.
Well the wind is in and the forecast looks the goods.
Looking forward to some great racing tomorrow. Just a note to get down early to grab a good park and could all those with trailers park their cars away from the rigging areas.
See you on the water.
12-13 knots from the south, lots of sun and heat. All looking good for the states today. (update - Sammy Bowman just called to say he is at Manly and it is blowing 20 knots. He is a pretty reliable source so I'm shoving in some smaller gear in the car...
About to head off to register, just a quick call to Mum to say sorry but I may be physically absent from her 70th but I will definately be there in spirit... I'll be the one with the black eye.
No need to do the results in open, Vando domianted todays racing for the Board Crazy 2009 State Slalom Titles held by bayside sailboards
Great effort Vando

I would apologyze for not having any sail numbers and registred late today... I know it's bad.
By the way, the day was really good with a lot of fun at the jibe. Perfect wind!
Congratulation for the organisation and for Vando.
That was one awesome way to finish the season, I'm sure I will be feeling that session tomorrow morning.
Thanks very much to the Bayside crew and the volunteers for such a great day and also for such a professional and enjoyable season.
What a Cracker only to words could explain today FULLY SICK.
also Great work Vando
Oh yes, feeling it this morning. A great day. Thanks to Bayside and our start boat crew, you put on a fantastic event. Roll on next season.
Cheers,
H
congrats vando, awesome stuff. loft sails and starboard must be stoked. 
what about the other classes?
after 8 races holding down a 8.5 there were some pretty strong gust at time 
.
Hey Scot,
Funny how battling it out for the also ran places still puts a smile on your dial. With the amount of pain I'm in at the moment I know I did something yesterday.
This season we have definitely seen Vando step up from last year. The new equipment or its the challenge of some serious competition that has brought the best out in him.
A big congrats to Mark Mikanovic also. Many seem to forget that we have 2 slalom classes only separated by gear restrictions. Mark as he has done all season pretty much hosed the 88 fleet. The thing that sucks is he was on a 5.8m and 110 slalom
. I need to go on a serious diet.
Overall this season, we have seen some of the biggest racing fleets in SEQ for the last 5 years or so. And the amount of interest the club has generated should see a continued growth. By the way guys are already planning their respective assaults on next season..... all I can say is watch this space
There may even be off season training involved
A reminder to all that the presentation dinner is Sat 30 May. Tickets will be available soon. There will be door prizes on the night, and maybe some light entertainment - we need to mikey to strut his stuff on the dance floor
See you all there.
Simon told me Cold Play are going to be the live band at the dinner, Sounds Great
Geez, given how Gary is going in the waves, after this weekend he may get called the overall state champion, PWA style.
Well done GK.
Thanks Jamie, its going to be a long week can't wait!!!
Gary,
Very well done. Would have been interesting season if you made it to a few more races. Look forward to seeing how you go this weekend and maybe we will see you next season.

ps. luke are you sure it wasn't the cold play covers band old hay?
thanks again to the bayside club and especially the guys and girls who man the start boat on race days, not an easy job! Had an absolute ball in my first season of slalom racing and already looking forward to next year. Can highly recommend it to those who might be sitting on the sideline.
ps re the dinner, is there a dress code? can I wear my green shorts?
