From one South Aussie to another Darryn, the course size is just fine (after Milang you will have no problems), flat water (even “steamy”), and the whole event is a load of really great fun (even though it is in the land of people who only try to play Aussie rules football), The guys sailing there all seem to know how to sail and all the organisers are really friendly and do an excellent job with the event, and the camping on site generates real camaraderie, BUT! It is COLD and at last years event we opted to stay at a nearby motel (which we thought was very well priced) and I am glad that we did. Every night sleeping in a clean bed in a heated room with cable TV made getting on the water next day a hell of a lot easier than crawling out of a sleeping bag with joints that were stiff from a cold nights sleep. There’s something quite surreal about walking to your boat in the morning and breaking off the ice that has formed overnight. Seems easier to adjust to if you have just come from a warm room after a hot breakfast and an even hotter shower!
