It turned out to be a great day over the border and what a fantastic parade of 11 blokarts doing full laps from Kingscliffe to Cabarita. The wet weather stayed away from us and a few of us jumped into the ocean for a swim before sailing and really enjoyed the pristeen water and the beach shower to follow.
Thanks to Noel for travelling down from Brisbane and the old and new karters from the coast area, Lindsay from Tweed, Phil, Brendan, Josh and John from Goldie. Then we met Paul and Shona from the Goldie who are regulars to the area. Add to that list Judy, Bernie and me to bring total karts to 11, but there were others who jumped on board for a sail and demo ride, so in all a well spent 3 1/2 hours of sailing.
I must admit the wind was very light when we arrived at 2pm but by 3pm it had picked up and an encouraging call from Brendan to Phil and John brought them hurrying down to join us.
We certainly missed not having other Brisbane people down there and the Kinchins from the Goldie but maybe next time.
Keep an eye out for our next adventure and don't forget 'if it's blowing, we're going sailing'. Send a text to Judy and we'll all get to hear about it on the cellular grapevine.
Cheers Brett
