Yes Brendon,
we went with different dates ( month ) to take advantage of more consistent days together for wind conditions. That, and the fact NEWBY paid me to have it in September so he could work his leisure time around it.
Bit of a bummer about the weather etc, but with La Nina weather patterns around, earlier in the year the better. My prediction is that the La Nina patterns will be around for a couple of years now.
Expect some cyclones, maybe an early one in December and then a few more Jan / Feb and even March with some of them hitting areas further south like Hervey Bay, Noosa etc.
We were lucky ( well , good management, some may call it ) with the winds etc and really, you could have gone out every day of our trip this year. I managed 4 or was it 5 days ?? dunno now...
