First day of no wind...I'm itching already. I'm getting use to the time difference and actually slept till about 8am today, We went for breakfast at a good coffee shop called the Salt Dish...It was very good food, bacon and eggs with a little extra.
While we were out and about I went shopping for all the bits and pieces I needed to get my video cameras up and running, a few cables, some extra rechargeable batteries and some SD cards...I own about a thousand SD cards but do you think I packed any to bring.
What to do in the Windsurfing Capital of Australia when there's no wind, well watch windsurfing DVDs that's what. We started the day with RIP from Robby Naish, followed that with the Polakow movies and lastly a classic, Trade Winds.
It's now lunch time and we decided to go and try out some of the local seafood, Skeeta's restaurant is where we chose to eat. Local lobster was on the menu so I thought I'd give it one last chance, as lobster has not impressed me in the past. Today I was surprised, It was good...not the best thing I've ever eaten but very good. Coupled with a few beers and the view out over the foreshore it was magic.
With lunch over we returned to the cottage and engaged in a few more beers and some tall stories. I decided to see if the laptop was capable of doing some video editing, so I pieced together some dodgy video from the trip over as a prelude to what will follow. Hopefully my video shooting skills will get better as most of the footage shoot was total crap, Could not use it...What I managed to salvage went into the above video. The video I shot at Coronations was so shaky I just deleted the lot, It's apparently hard to shoot video footage hand held in 40 knot gusts, I'll use a tripod next time......The GoPro is ready to go also.
good editing we are all very jealous back here in the swamp
