Could it actually happen??????

Well it could of happened!

It will .......'cos I have a 10 hour lunch to go to
& may not remember much

So ... I'm going out Friday after lunch to Ramsgate/Dolls, no matter what the conditions

Seven weeks is just too long between sails

It will happen because as fate would have it the only time during the last 3 months that there might actually be decent wind....I'm going out of state. Nooooooooo!

Where is the best place to go if it does have a bit of west in it?

Melbourne... It seems to be windy here during winter.

anticipating red thumbs galore here

Of course its gonna go off and I will smack it not like the rest of you girls.

Maybe the Roaches will get some runs on the board?

BOM's already dropped the forecast by 5 knots to 20-30...

OOhhh, Friday afternoon and it's still looking good. I feel a trip up to Canton beach will be required tomorrow........

Yep, i think you're right Dave, maybe a change to the plans is in order.

See you all there, Sando strip, around 8am. Bring ya big gear. I'm packing the formula kit. Desperate times calls for desperate measures!

Just hit here at Port Botany

had a bit under an hour on the water at wanda - had to be at least 35knots when I first went out, but dropped a bit as soon as I flattened the 4.7 - kicked again as I got out about 5pm

waves were small and far between and it was rather cool even when sailing, but have a second steamer (dry) if the forecast holds for tommorrow

all over red rover...

I happened to see that the wind kicked at Belambi Point around 3:30pm... managed to get in the car around 4pm but got stuck in traffic. Wind hit the bay around 4:15pm with a solid 35 knts and 40 knt gusts.

Got to La Perouse around 4:35pm... rigged and on the water by 10 to 5...

What can I say. I was comfortably on a 4.7. The sun came out behind the clouds and all I could see was a fire orange sky, water and clouds. Combine that with a massive rainbow. Every time a small chopped rolled through it was throwing massively long shadows due to the low sitting sun. I wish I had a camera with me as it was probably the most incredible sunset sail I have ever had...

... actually no, scrab that. Had a sunset downwinder with Windwarrior and Chicken Stu a couple of years ago in Gerladton which was pretty special. But today will be stuck in my memory for ever.

If it wasn't for the constant thought of hungry little sharks hanging around I probably would have stayed well past sunset.

Finished up around 5:30 and left by 5:45. At that stage the wind had dropped quite considerably. Sorry to say guys but I don't think there will too much left around Saturday. I'll be checking the wind at 6:30am but I am not keeping my hopes up.

Although no waves this was probably one of the best sails I have every had!!!

crap crap crap. What is going on with this weather?

had a quick sail at Kurnell on the Friday. got a few runs in between 3 and 4pm but then the wind died only to come back pretty strong from the SW. thought it didn't look that strong so i ventured back out with the 5.7. big mistake as it was 30knots plus and at only 69kg i was in danger of being blown across to La Perouse and joining Stehsegler. i was very happy to make it safely back in . Was there to witness the Spectacular rainbow as i packed up my kit.
