Things r looking grim, with no wind, injured mobsters, working away mobsters, and holidaying mobsters, with a bit of luck I'm back Thursday and if the body and forecast hold up could be 4 days of wind, anyone up for trying to grab a few points??

At the moment it looks like it's got a nasty growth, I overdid the urethane foam. Depends how long I spend on the water tomorrow morning, should be able to get some glass on it in the arvo to seal it up.
If not, I've I board you can borrow that's probably a bit similar.

dear diary
I put all of my high wind kit in my trailer today and went looking for water, wind and a partner to sail with for safety.

Water and wind were no trouble but do you think I could find a partner?

Wind 20-27 in gusts, chop to 200mm high 1500mm apart, partners: not one to be found in the area
Looked at Howards way twice and Navarra and both looked good ( if very gusty and choppy and cold). Went shopping and while in Coles the hail hammered on the roof.

Oh well, will wait for another day (at leats I did not injure myself or damage any kit in the daft conditions).
thats all for now, will play on the Wii in the warm and keep my son amused!
Note to self: may need to work on self preservation a bit: if my friends decided to sit this one out I probably need to take heed

I think it just blew past on the latest storm force gust, still attached to a hills hoist
The news just reported that the SES in Perth has been very busy with damaged houses. Think sitting this one out was a good idea

My daughter just asked me why I wasn't out windsurfing today.
"Too windy", I said
"Haven't heard that one before..." she replied!

but it's really just too darn cold!!!

Being a tough hardened male I can't use that as an excuse, my equipment wasn't right for the conditions
