It's easy to snap fishing line, do it all the time at GB when someone pulls up on the bank when we are already sailing there

Yes, it is a bit frustrating. I doubt if they were catching anything considering the time of day, clear skies and the amount of traffic on the water.

I once had a favourite spot on the Broadwater but it was only good when things were quiet, just around dawn.

Many thanks Enzed... great photos. I used to sail 'the train' many, many moons ago and it was fantastic to see it's still in use. In the end, the wind in QLD wasn't regular or strong enough to feed my windsurfing obsession, so I committed career suicide and moved west to WA where the wind is steady and plentiful, as are the beaches from Esperance to Exmouth... and the Swan River running through Perth aint too shabby either. So now I don't have a job, but I get out on the water heaps.... but remember my time sailing 'the train' with fond memories.
