Off topic but air powered sometimes, the Sydney based Endevour replica visited my home an island in the Tasman Sea last weekend for the Transit of Venus. Captain Cook was sent south to view this a few years back and this is when he discovered our great southern land, if I got the history right?!

Not much into the stars but every 130 odd years the star Venus which orbits the sun can be seen between earth and the sun. Its just a black dot which you have to look at through special glasses but boy the star gazer people sure get excited about it, that stirred up the astronomers amongst you. I was more impressed by the Endevour, large scale modeling in 1 to 1!

Here is some pic's...........

I'm more interested in that peak thats about to break in the top right hand pic. Looks like i could get some nice backhand bazzas out there!

Was wondering if someone might notice, check these same swell during the same weekend,
not far south from where ship was anchored!

No one out, my type of wave. That right hander is nice

Nice pics. I had a mate sailing on it on the Eden-Sydney harbour leg, just prior to heading your way I believe.
