What is it with boys and their new toys?
Even when there is no wind Marty is still keen to rig his new kit!!
Might not be new for too long once I have a go!!



How happy can one man be?

Hi TT,

How was the direction? Was it se. I went to goolwa and it was se - 18 - 23. Choppy but good fun. Did you hit any of those massive carp? A few of us sailed there saturday and hit 8 of those bastards...

Hi Divaldo,

Realised everyone else had launched from the aquacaf but was with the wife and kids and only had a small window to sail. Headed down that way but wasn't sure of water depth so played it safe. Nice lunch at Rankine's. Always good to have a feed, a bourbon and a sail. Can't ask for much more than that.

See you soon.

Hi Carl, i hit a carp straight out from the car park and got thrown their was heaps out there swimming around on the surface. It was pretty choppy with the south easterly but could pick a line through the chop out in the deeper water.

Vikki was right, it didn't take her long to steal my new gear. An uxpected seabreeze last night was all the encouaragement she needed!!










How did your trip to WA go Zubby? did you get a sail in?

Only five weeks till we take off for Gero, can't wait.

It was great fun and the water was warmish (well in a 4/3 wettie it was!!)
Marty's new gear is great...so light and easy!

I think we will head down again this arvo for a play if you're interested!

Cheers
