Makro Racer Beach outings TNQ. (Tropical North Queensland) Au.

[ivanll]

Took delivery of a Racer 17 Feb.2015, but heavy shower periods from a Tropical Cyclone that was hainging around for weeks prevented any interest in prolonged outings............. Well blue skies are here again so a couple of trips to nearby beaches was possible. ............ The aim was mainly to see how the Racer would handle the wet sand in order to be considered a worthy beach detector for future outings. ................. Day One.....

I wasn't really implying you didn't dig it just joking.
