i just read a message on the local notice board. somebody has found a 5m gaastra sail on yardie creek road. 0438 993 587 if anyone knows/is the owner
I know Rooster is up there at the moment but he has Ezzy's. I think his mate uses gastra's and he is up there aswell, think his name is Jonah.
Lee you out there mate.
Thanks heaps for posting the message - the sail is mine, I've spoken to the guy who found it - unfortunately I'm not up there any more.
Does anyone have any good ideas on how to get it back to Perth?
Cheers
John
Im leaving Karratha this Friday.
I wasnt going to Exmouth.
But if the price is right I may consider
I can get hold of it and get my mate from the toll yard to freight it down for you otherwise im heading to perth around december time if you can hold off till then
It seems that one other sail also fell off the wagon that day (17-18/10/07) - a 4.2 Naish Session, in a red bag.
Mine was picked up half way between the Bundegi turnoff and the wind turbines - so keep an eye out - someone might have picked it up.
Could have ended up on the side of the road somewhere between the lighthouse and... gnaraloo 
. It's a longshot, but worth putting out the word.
As for my sail - Thanks for the offers (Exmouth's a pretty big deviation from Karratha to Perth !!). No go at Austpost (no comment - but I think the guy who works there tried his best). I've spoken to Steve at TollWest and it sounds like that's the go - my local hero said he'll take it there at lunch - so should be on track soon.
(insert joke here about tying your gear on properly)
Grumplestiltskin is up there at the moment, pm me your number and i can hook you up.
Not sure of his provider tho as only telstra.
Stamp might be able to hook up with him.
Just read your post seems all is well!

He must have it off tonight no answer.
Left a message tho.
Got my sail back today - rolled it out on the grass and it looks fine. Perfect timing for some seabreezes and evening sailing this week hopefully.
Thanks heaps stamp for posting the note in the first place. Unfortunately after what they slugged me for freight, and a carton for the guy who picked the thing up and ran around town with it, there's not much left in the kitty - I owe you a drink though. In the meantime, I'll pass the favour along the chain, and hopefully it will get back around to you.
no worries jprw. instead of shouting me a drink bring some swell up with you next time
