I dont want to be a whinge, but after talking nicely to the owners of the Marina (Andrew Chapman) last week, (we wanted to move one of the ropes that were up to keep people away form the machinery, it was agreed that we wouldnt park on the grass.
A few people parked there today which was a bit dissapointing. If anyone does see someone park there, just let them know that the owners dont like it as it kills the grass.
They are more than happy to have us there, using their facilities, accessing the cafe and their toilets etc...I think we need to be mindful of the area when we use it,
It would be crap if they put up fences to stop us going there...not many other places to sail at Goolwa lake.
yeh I don't see why people need to park on the grass as it is a tiny bit of it anyway and anyway all the gear ways next 2 nothing now days so it's not that hard to carry it over. Luckily I know the Chapman's through school so if they do anything I can try to get it back going again. but still people stopping being lazy and think of others that want to use the area as well.
Cheers Will
atleast there is room. russ says that sydney is a night mare! cant even park to go for a sail.

Why not just sail at Milang:
Closer to Adelaide
Lots of very flat water
lots ad lots of bumpy water once you have sailed past the sand bar
works in more wind directions
waist deep a long way out
no parking problems
if you don't want to carry your gear down the beach just drive to the waters edge.
Good Fish and chips.
If you do not mind the snakes boggy II works well can be sailed in all wind directions. parking and rigging area is limited works best in S or SE.
Milang is a great option, just that I want a few options, it would be crap if we started having windsurfing spots taken away form us coz we didnt adhere to a few simple rules.
and Chris, if we had all moved our cars a little closer together we could havbe all fitted, double parked maybe?
Im not trying to be a stick in the mud, just want to keep the peace with the owners.
And Will, I sort of know the Chapmans as well, hopefully it wont get to a lock out situation.

Agreed Dave.
If I can't get a park close, I normally stop as close to the rigging area (in Goolwa's
case, it would be front of parked cars), drop my stuff off, and then park somewhere
else.
How about we make a sign to warn not to park on the grass.............Nah the ignorant ****s can't read .........sorry
Ive got 100 bucks for anyone parking on the grass or smoking grass on the grass and then emailing me a photo of you getting hassled by the lawn police.
You get it only if you get hassled by real cops though.
Its a pepsi challenge get on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
asdmuzak you seem to be more of a troll than a windsurfer then again maybe your a Kiter which would explain a lot.
Oh Im very very real, Dont drop in on me or you'll see how real i am.
And how real are you , do you even windsurf??
If you've been around for a bit you'd know me.
asdmuzak you sound like a real sad windsurfer putting other windsurfers down ready to bash up anyone who drops in on you. sad very sad the sort of person that spoils the great sport of windsurfing.
You should support all windsurfers however good and any place they sail, lake sea, sand, ice, snow. The important thing is the windsurfing not the place.
I started windurfing in 1981 but not in adelaide thus do not know who you are.
Man its all so serious on this thing...
The straight versus the bent.
I love it, abuse me more..
I'll back it up with a mast high barrell roll over your head.
Windsurf where ya want i dont care.
Say what ya want when ya want!
Life is short man dont get caught up in the craziness.
"Nasty piece of work" lol

I know where to find you mister metric street. 
I don't care if people park on the grass.... however i would be really sh**ted off if we lost the ease of such a great sailing spot and rigging area just because someone is to lazy to walk their gear the full 5 or 10m further!!!
It's up to you anyway, i haven't seen it done real recently either. signs are there for a reason so just deal with it.
Bubs
EDIT/P.S: this thread has gone on way to long lol.... i think we kinda get the message now i guess!!!
