Whilst the forecast seems to have backed off a bit for Saturday I am still hopefull of getting down to Botany for a sail. One thing I have been wanting to do for yonks was to sail from Kyeemagh across to Kurnell and back, something I finally did last weekend. I did however find it a little daunting thinking what the hell do I do if I have a gear failure.
Anyway, I was thinking that maybe we could have a big group sail across on Sayurday arvo if anyone is interested. I reckon it would be pretty cool to have a dozen or so guys all flying across there next to each other. That way we can all safely keep an eye on each other in case anyone gets into any difficulty.
If anyone is interested why don't we meet say at about 4ish on the beach at the bottom of the stairs of south ramp, across from the Shell servo and we'll go from there. It may turn out there's not enough wind and we'll just have to do it another day.
It's not a race, just a fun medium distance sail (about 4k's across I think from memory). We can stop over at Kurnell for a breather before coming back if the fitness isn't as it once was for some of us.

Great idea, Andrew
Unfortunately I'll be in Brisvegas......but

The forecast isn't that different from yesterday (Thurs) when the N/E came in right on 3pm as we rigged.

It was easy doing runs to end of runway (approx 2km) & only another 4-5km to Faaaarkurnell .

Go for it. I'll be there next time

Yup, great idea, I'm in for sure!

...except I only just read the post now.

Next time, I'm in! It's a great run - much steadier wind than tucked in under the runway.

Nah, I was Norman no friends I'm afraid Des . I saw you either rigging or de-rigging as i was leaving. The wind had dropped right off so I called it quits. Not sure if it came back in again though, I think it did as Mike racked up heaps of k's as per usual.Still, I had a great sail anyway.
If It's windy next Saturday then yeah let's go for it!!

hey rexy you should forget kurnell & go out through the heads look to the south, when you can see jibbon point turn around and back to kyeemagh in a good nor easter it will take about 10 minutes to get back , thats SICK EM!!!!!!!

Sounds great Wayne, I'm up for that for sure.
