Kermit, 7.5 Koncept, Talon 40, Green Island, 10-13 knots.

Hit some coral trying to get out the first time so back in to patch the fin box. Very light and struggled to keep the board planing today.

Congrats to Phil and Freddy on the distance PB's. Phil had a goal to get the distance today but I didn't think he would get there when we first got to the island. Good effort both of you.

I'm still waiting for some wind to update my distance pb.

Green Island, QLD, AU

Just another day in paradise, crystal clear water, colourful reefs, blue sandy bottoms, a bunch of nice blokes and sunshine to boot. Just enough wind for the 7.5 so the water was nice and flat, even had the joy of seeing a kite stuck in one of the Island trees, Ha. Hopefully more of the same tomorrow.

Naish SP110, venom 42, Koncept 7.5

Green Island, QLD, AU.Went to Green Island to play with the big kids had mixed reports as to what the wind would do.Took 6.6 and 7.3m sails over. Wind looked ok but not honking when we got there' big kids rigged big ,i rigged 6.6m in anticipation of bigger wind later in the day as we often get on the coast, wind stayed much the same all day enough for a fun easy sail but not quiet there for serious blasting..couldn't stay with the guys on big rigs but managed to keep an eye on Fast Freddie who was rigged the same as me.I think his distance travelled was further than mine,But i think that is because of all the 'viagra' he takes,keeps him going longer, ha ha...All in all a great day, good company and good sailing at a world class destination in our own back yard,will make more effort to get there more often..Cheers Ed....

Great day at Green with some good company including Hoppy Bob who came over for some support.

Good to see Mr. Ed make the effort from Port and Phil from Mackay.

All had a good time although wind gods were away. Gaz has a little work to do on Kermit.......
