The candle always flickers brightest just before it goes out......

10 minutes from my place. Michael

Good find, Andy. Oh yea, it's all about the kites..... Michael

Nice work, Doug. Looks like a good time Michael

Sad news. Have good memories of your Dad's positive, friendly, welcoming nature. He will live on in our hearts. Michael

Great afternoon of buggying, with the wind coming directly on to the beach at approx 5.30pm. Kept going until the late dog walkers took over for their shift. Rob was, as usual, the fastest on the day. No buggying from tomorrow onwards, as the wind and rain will have their way against us. Just hoping that Trevor will bounce back after his impressive OBE. I just missed seeing it happen, but he sure got his single skin kite in a magnificent tangle. Michael

Had a good afternoon chatting and laughing with the group, in the Sandy caravan park, watching other campers struggling in the stiff wind to assemble tents, annexes and vans. Not what I'd hoped for.... But you have to take your fun when you can. Tomorrow will be better.....

Nigel has always been good at getting air. Will come over later in the pm to shoot the breeze........

Not looking too promising, here at Foster. Howling west wind, some sunshine now, but ABC radio weather noted that the 50k winds may ease late in the day........

At Foster, we had some decent sized hail amongst the heavy rain. Can't beat Gippsland weather...

Heavy nw winds starting to gust through here at Foster. A few specks of rain beginning. Will batten down the hatches and wait and see. Too heavy for a one metre Quadrifoil, for those who know the kite..... Lol

Settled in at Foster caravan park. Overcast, 21.5 c. Almost no wind. Will whip over to Sandy in the late morning to check out the odds. Forecasts don't look too promising for wind directions. Fingers crossed.

Good luck with Mr5. Gastro makes for a miserable boy. Lots of memories of my kids

This could be a good opportunity to pass this affliction on to all the crew..... Michael

We will be based in Foster, from Thursday to the following Thursday. Will surely catch some dry times for some buggy fun. Recently spent 5 weeks and 5500 kilometres doing the peninsulas in South Aust. Had only one minor buggy session between gales and rain in Wallaroo. Did find some great beaches, but poor conditions all round. Always hopeful Michael
