You B-----d Benny
I'm missing those Green days - doesn't get much better up there.
(even though I've already sailed with a 5m more times in 2 months down here than 2 years up there)
Had a great day over Yorke Peninsula on Sunday - on the right tack too!

I've got two Fans going can i get a couple of cartons??

catch the Great Adventures Ferry over. its 60 ood dollas for non locals

departs at 8:30 so be there before 8 ready with gear and ticket to get on otherwise its a pain in the arse with all the jap tourists getting in the road.
you have to be nice otherwise the they get the ****s with us getting in the road. blah blah dont wont to f#ck up a good thing and have us banned. etc.

handy to have some kind of trolley as well. its a bit of a walk down the jetty to rigging areas with your gear.


you should really go out with someone first time so you know where to sail. otherwise bring fiberglass and new finbox for sure.

for 6 hours guaranteed sailing...its worth it. once you know the way then its easy. if you want to go for a few days then you can leave your gear out there rigged up in the beach hire shed.
