Clifton Beach, QLD, AU SSE 13-18 knots Xfire 114 s2 40 Loft Blade 8.6 

Session started with a 30 minute grovel to the wind line but got progressively better as the wind picked up .

Really good fun in warm sunny conditions ... CoolSmile

WOW, when I saw that I had 30.55 on the dial, you could'nt wipe the smile of my face. An absolutely beautiful day in paradise once again. Have to admit though, got the tides all wrong. There wasnt any real sailing done untill 1300hrs. Took the opportunity to head over and socialise with the Kelly Clan. TJ and Riley kept the beach looking the goods whilst Conner had a really good couple of hours practicing his new found craft. For a young fella who has had only 3 sessions in relatively quick succesion, he is really showing improvement. 

Watch Kel tail walk his 90 Isonic and 7.5 Overdrive - which eventually led to a destroyed sail and Gath Helmet - after he smacked the floor of the ocean....Ouch.

Got to cook the clan dinner, so I'll be back.

Fun sail at the island with Bindi, Billy, Nick from Sydney and the Kids.

A bit windier than expected today and only took the 7.5 which was a bit of a handful, so I threw my body at it to calm it down.

Unfortunately the gopro was turned off so only have a smashed helmet and destroyed sail to remind me of it.Frown

Used my old 6.2 Blade for the rest of the session so still had a good sail.

Well done Billy! Looked good on the speed run today!

Good morning to all - fell asleep on the lounge last night after a wonderful feed of fresh BLT's...Mmmm, just what the doctor ordered. Thank you to all for the encouragement. It has been a wonderful journey so far and has been made better for knowing and or coversing with you all. Thank you for taking me under your wing's 3 years ago.

Thought I'd attached a couple of quick photo's of what was left of Kel's Gath after an unfortunate encounter with the sea bed on the eastern speed run. This was after he had already speared through his sail Frown. Turned into a fun and some what expensive afternoon. Pretty sure it was a consistant 20kts most of the afternoon with the occasional 15-20min burst coming through at 25kts - it was fun holding down a 7.5 in that weather. 

Real good to meet Nick (Steak & Kidney), who is up in FNQ for the next 2 weeks on a round Australia holiday - looked like he was having a blast. 

Hope to see you all on the water soon.

Congrats Billy on the 30 :-) and Kel, I am so glad you destroyed the Gath rather than your own skull- I agree with Firie, post on Seabreeze as a timely reminder!
