I am well known for my disposition to bring unwanted weather wherever I go. A few examples would be:
Kite surfing? When I show up the kites fall from the sky with no wind at all, or the wind is a full hurricane force 11. My kite surfing mates have often said "bad weather Bassie".
Namibia desert? If I wander into a desert where it just doesn't rain... ever... guess what happens when I show up?
This weekend I decided to organise a very special weekend for my very special wife. Completely lost in enthusiasm I forgot all about my curse and organised the most weather sensitive activities you could imagine. A private Champagne Balloon flight over Byron Bay and go and see the dolphins up close or dive at Julian Rock.
Well, with gale forecasts and 200mm rails predicted, this of course was cancelled swiftly.
I had reserved the very best table at the very best restaurant in Byron bay, which turned out to be the very worst seat in these weather conditions. I am fortunate to have a wife who sees the bright side of life and we had a good laugh.
