Various shots from days at Sandy Point

We went to Sandy Point again this weekend.  This weekend we were joined by Kim & Jac (and Larry), Mandy & Nathan (and Bronte, Yvette and Obi).  We went down on Friday night.  It is the middle of winter, but the weather was spectacular.  Cold at night, but gloriously sunny during the day.  I got slightly above my station and went stand up paddle boarding with Paul in all my clothes (was being lazy and didn't put a wetsuit on) - very risky..... as at one point we had a crash and he rode his board straight on top of mine.  Luckily I didn't fall in, in my jeans!  The photo of us stand up paddle boarding was taken at Shallow Inlet.  Nathan also gave us a lesson on how to rig up (and sail) our windsurfer which we bought a few months ago.   Paul got a land board recently, as a belated birthday present.  It is supposed to be used with a kite on the beach, basically a big skate board and the kite pulls you along.  There wasn't a breath of wind, so we decided to hook up a rope to Kim's ute, and be pulled around that way!  Being ever so careful, I wore a wakeboarding helmet!  Couldn't really face hitting my head!!! Other shots were taken a few months ago, probably the last time we took Kim & Jac's boat out wakeboarding at the Inlet.  
Jac cooked a delicious thai green curry on Saturday night, and we spent the day surfing on Sunday.  Fantastic weekend, can't wait for the next one down there.
