Big push today to get a bit of distance up, so set off early (10.10 am) for Nundroo and beyond. Had to stop at Head of Bight to see if there were any whales who hadn’t migrated south already. No … Continue reading →

Driving day today. Dropped in to Smoky Bay as listed as windsurfing location in info guide. No windsurfing happening although certainly looked promising with lots of shallow water and gentle cross shore wind. After cold water experience yesterday though, decided … Continue reading →
