I've booked a twin-room island suite for the 23rd - 28th June. My partner Geri was thinking of going, but can't now due to work commitments, so if anyone is keen to share that suite (with their own room) you just need to share the cost. Normally $630 a night (yes - luxury), but special Green Island Nationals price of $315 per night. So going halves is only $157.50 a night and includes a full buffet breakfast (a bargain)!!

If you were thinking of going (that means you Russ ), now's your chance to stay on the island and enjoy a week of sailing in paradise. No need to rush to un-rig and get the last ferry back to Cairns, just keep sailing and come in when you're ready.

Thanks for the offer Dave it is very kind, and sorry I can not go mate

I wish you and the rest of the Tassie team all the best on GI. I think Tassie will do very well we have our best sailors going.

Like Steve, there is a big part of me that would love to race in the event; but this is a dream to take the week off with Sim and boys at home going to work and school while dad is on green island windsurfing....

GIVE THEM ONE HELL OF A GUN FIGHT FOR THE REST OR US!!!!!!

Cheers Russ

James, I would love to join you rounding up the Red team
It will be a fantastic event of corse I have no chance but I wish the Exocet/ Mauisails team all the best.
That Exocet RS4 is super fast and Gybes on rails

More red thumbs from the red team no doubt Actually the Red team is very cool as well Hope everyone makes it safe with no freight loss or damage at least till you hit the water.

Happy Sailing

Cheers Russ

Go Jordan

Cool, another 86slimer!

The Tassie Team'll be rippin, when do you head off?

Why aren't you going Ant we can have our little races between each other in the tropics, and just been overseas isn't an excuse because I know when you want to do something you do it!

Thaks Bear, hopefully us yougins will do ok!

Not exactly what I had in mind Buzz,but I will admit, you are younger than me.
Allright then,hope you go well too!

Not long to go now, should start seeing what's likely to unfold weather-wise.

If you're wishing you were going, it's still possible, just book flights and accommodation, pack your gear and leave your wetsuit at home ...

Over 40 competitors so far, so should be a great event. The slalom will be non-elimination, so whether you win or lose your round, you'll still get to sail the same number of heats, but progressively more and more with people at your level.

Dave is that 40 in the Slalom? or all up including the freestyle/womens etc.

Good luck to the Tassie team, hope the sun shines the wind blows like buggery and you all have a hoot

Have fun guys and gals

Looks like it'll be windy (and even windier tomorrow)!!

Yeah have fun all, we're green with envy
