G'Day Doug' and Paddlewise,
		Well I learn't heaps of elementary stuff that I needed to know, including
how to set up for a roll while the surf was still breaking to take advantage
of the wave. I've got some questions on high braces but will address those
in a separate post. Finally on the last day a storm blew up and there were
only three of us left so we adjourned to the Bega river and I practiced wind
sprints for the Hawkesbury Classic (110km overnight race - end of October).
	Anyway came back to find companions comatose on the grass and a bunch of
heifers licking the salt off their boats. And looking as if they fancied a
good chew on the coamings. Now we didn't want to scare these cows as they
were being conditioned (sorry - heifers I'm a city boy) so what to do? -
quick as a flash a paddle was set up against a fence and draped with skirt
and PFD - fastest scarecow in the west and very effective:~)

All the best, PeterO
