Magic

Hey Richie any sign of the super maxi's training for the big race this friday?? Brisbane to Keppel starts 12 noon.

Love the catspaws on the water. I always enjoy sailing boats in that sort of wind, trickling along, watching the water go past.

Ian I just learned something new tonight never heard of the term "catspaws"
after a google search meaning very light wind?
Would prefer to be seeing white horses everywhere instead

I used to live in NZ. There is a place called lake Aviemore in the waitaki lakes. you can camp all around the lake. During summer the lake looks like this in the morning - waterski lie around read a book etc all morning - then the wind kicks in anywhere between 12.15 and 12.35 - it comes in a line instantly 20knt - by about 4pm 25 - 30knt funnelled up from the cold ocean through a mountain valley. Very even

day light saving so you cook a BBQ have dinner hiding in the lea of huge willows then sail again till 10pm!

too many trees aorund and too strong for kitesurfers- to locals and nonwindsurfing people a lake from hell. :-)

Start of Keppel. 1200hrs.

Wild Oats crossed the line 12.20, not a bad effort getting to yeppoon in 24hrs! broke the race record by 3hrs.
