What beautiful looking day you guys had for sailing, I love seeing Perth's sailing lakes it makes us very jealous. Sound like a broken record but would love to have that space to sail. Scott

We ARE very lucky Scott, the lake can occasionally be prone to weed, Black Swans and Turtles, we even had a Golden Retriever once, swimming up and down chasing the water fowl to little effect. (think he had the Dog Watch ) Cafe and clean Heads but a stones throw away. Overall, a great location.
Of course, the icing on the cake is the company of a Great bunch of Blokes with a common interest, enjoying a hobby we love.

You forgot to mention the clarity of the water, Nige. Great for sailing (losing) subs every now and again.
One day I will finish a ship.
