I have been doing quite a lot since I put a good post on here, sorry haven’t had much time in towns lately and the net is expensive.Had a good time in Kalbarri national park apart from the flies, that is where the pic of me with the gorge in the background is from.
The windsurfing pics are from a town called Denham in Shark Bay, another national park, contrary to the name there has never been a shark attack here. The wind was really good but the sea grass gets stuck on your fin a lot and makes it hard work. Fishing for squid is popular here in the dark with the lights on the pier, Jana caught loads and I learned how to clean them. They tasted really good the next day. Mmmmm fresh calamari.

On the way we stopped the see strombolites, the oldest living thing in the world, these things that look like rocks, started off life on earth by producing oxygen when there wasn’t much around a few billion years ago.

We planned to have a brief stop in Canarvon but stayed there 3 days as the wind was really good and shallow really flat water was perfect for freestyle. I finally learned downwind 360s, I hadn’t really bothered trying them before.


For my birthday we stayed in a place called Blowholes and as you drive there is a big sign saying "King Waves Kill" so be careful.
I had a decent sail here till a wave broke ontop of me and broke my crap mast extension. Its a poor design and I wont get one of those again. The solid aluminum one is the one to get I think!
Here is my friend Georges towing my sail in.

The only thing for it was to start drinking then and we had a really nice meal my friends cooked for me and cake and sparklers later.

I’m in Exmouth now and just spent the last 3 days in Cape Range National Park, It’s a really great place for snorkelling and I have been in the water for a good few hours each day. I saw loads of colourful fish, big turtles, crabs and sharks! Some small ones about 1 metre and one big one about 2 meter 50 or so. It scared the shit out of me at first because I only saw the back half of it, when I saw the head though I could see that it was a harmless type.
There has been no wind lately so it’s been really hot and the horseflies have been out and biting, it’s a relief to be in the water. A little Kangaroo came hopping up to the vans one night and we fed him some bread. They are funny creatures...
