I don't know about the rest of you non-kite sailors but I'm really looking forward to a weekend of being bored and not enjoying myself. It will be a nice break from the constant fun and exitement of work and raising a young family.

This thread has been an epiphany for me... all that time I thought I was having fun, but I wasn't. Who'd have thought?


That was just my feelings, I didn't expect it to be anybody elses. I guess I am just old and jaded, I think it would be fair to say I have probably spent more time racing off the beach than most Mossies sailors (raced pretty much every season since I was 8yo so thats 43 years). I have changed classes many times to keep myself interested in sailing, if not for the spinnaker I would probably have gone to find another class by now. But that is just how it works for me, not a reflexion on the class, performance of boat or the people in it.

I won't be sailing at all with or without spinnaker. So I guess I will just watch you all have fun instead.

Since there is about 40 knots blowing today and yesterday it has a long way to fall. Must be nearly snowing there since there is hail here. Will have to watch out for icebergs.

Yeah, I have to agree with Beckit - I reckon it is going to be blowing! grin

Sorry Simon - The red and cheese might need to stay on the beach, but make sure Gary cant get at it! shocked

Tim - You had better start uncrossing stuff or there might be too much wind, but can you do something about the temperature and rain frown

See you all there

"Sorry Simon - The red and cheese might need to stay on the beach, but make sure Gary cant get at it!"

If I leave it where I'm camping I reckon it'll be pretty safe laugh

Hope you're right with the wind though the model looks a bit grim. Still, you never know, maybe the BOM will get it wrong for once!

Cheers
