Curios as to how many of you guys get to sail after work during the summer months. The decision whether to come and live in Perth is going to be based on whether the number of sailing sessions you get in out weighs the costs of living in Perth. Just don't want to leave one rat race to come and work in another one.

On another subject, I need to get myself back over to Perth soon and have been thinking for a couple of years how I would like to do a 3-4 week windsurfing trip up the West coast. I am no hardcore wave sailor, but I suspect there are breaks where I can get stuck in without getting mullered?

I would also prefer to do it with a few others rather than alone, but being a 'Billy No Mates' I am finding it hard to find others who would potentially be up for it. Was thinking January 2014


Thanks



Yep sailing after works is a definite in summer especially.
Here is a session I sailed a few years ago...
knocked off work half an hour early (2.30pm) mind you!...still enough time for a quick fang and 200+ km's

We have had some nuclear winds over here this week, coupled with torrential rain and my phone constantly receiving texts telling me that the heavy rain is causing raw sewage to be dumping in the sea near my local spot. Wind is great, but in the p!ssing rain, dirty water and in a 5mm wetsuit it's not why I got into the sport.

Now if you said Wind + Board shorts + clear seas + warm temperature then you would be talking. Now let me think. I wonder where that's on offer ...
