Today lao shi is sailing at Novara on the Mandurah estuary with the aim of being the first to complete 40 000km in the GPSTeam Challenge, then he is going to do another 75 km so he can say he has windsurfed far enough to have gone around the world (the circumference of the globe is 40 075km).

If you are free today and can get down to Mandurah please come and keep Mark company as he sails to show our support and respect for this great sailor who has contributed so much to our sport. Mark plans to sail most of the day.

Novara boat ramp, end of Owen Ave, Falcon.
Plenty of grass for rigging and toilet and BBQ facilities

Just come from Novara, (too cold and windy for a bar-b). Mark's overdone it, he's on his way to the moon, at least 200km, and Luny is trying to back him up.
