Windy when I went out and windy now as I post, but gusty, choppy and horrible when out sailing!!  Worked my way upwind ready to do a down-wind run and then spent about an hour drifting all the way back with water up to my knees.  Sailed 2009 Isonic 86, 2010 CR 6.5 and Venom 30cm.

Average sail on the bar today. Didnt get out much later than the others but late enough to miss all the wind.

Very frustrating - First run with good wind managed a 35.8. First time with a new (secondhand) sail. Sheeted out and unhooked, but felt like it was going to be on - then nothing. The last three times we have been out we have hung around with no wind untill we are hypothermic and then got out only to have the wind come in.

Sailed at moulting lagoon and had another run in with the parks ranger looks like thats the last sail I will have there Stewart and Bear were out with me as well.  Looks like I will look forward to getting something in the mail from them, the others got a verbal warning.

How ludicrous(is that how you spell it) that you could go there in a boat with an outboard but not on a windsurfer

Conditions were horrible the same as WA a couple of days ago and similar to everywhere else in Tassie, one minute the water was smoking then standing in the mud waiting for wind

Nice to get back on the water for ,I don't know how long. Sailed at Johno's Swamp for what appears to be the first and last time as the local ranger had nothing better to do than to harass three old blokes enjoying them selves. Apparently we were endangering the swan population of which none were out where we were sailing. Some Idiot behind a desk has drawn up the rules for the area and singled out jet skis and windsurfers as the main danger to the wildlife. Kite surfers are ok as the rules stand. I'm sure you could catch several swans in a 12 m kite without too much trouble.  Apart from that I had a great sail, reasonably flat water and reasonably consistent wind.

Hey Johno are they going to put you in jail. You Bad Bad Man. There's still hope, Shrek got his swamp back in the end.
