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 :boats: :boats:

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 :lol1: ) 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. :tup:

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.
