...urgh. Tide is hardcore. Too low. Plan B. Somewhere else, some other time.

That's the type of shopping I like!

I once heard that men have a higher heart rate waiting at a check-out than going into a war zone.

Had a go at Currumbin today; mainly swimming getting washed in twice. Never even made it all the way out the back and tomorrow is likely to be bigger. Wind was kind of fluky inside but seemed good out the back. Lots of water moving around.

Shearwater was ok , bit gusty but mainly sailable, there was nothing at the train and KFC was deserted for sailboarders that is.

5.4 @ Sovereign Islands was super nice. That whole area gets flaaat as the tide drops. Was gusty in the channel but totally consistent over the sand bank. Didn't stop planing for an hour or so.

Merry Christmas, don't mention next week.
