Thanks for the call!!! I reckon your talking it up though. A few of us had it earlier in the day but the wind dropped out around 2.

I had a look at Peggies around midday....HUGE and insanely messy, the shorey had to be half mast which is rare for there. Clinks looked pretty clean but getting out a major issue. Ended up going and doing some spins in the lake, I figured no one was crazy enough to sail Windang as to be honest it wasn't that windy which I thought to myself would be good in those conditions haha.

Was tempted to sail the North Beach bommie though, looked like frigged jaws jr. perfect peeling monsters...wind angle not great with the SE but with a wave that big not really and issue...just needed someone with a jetski haha

Also drove past Peggies on the way to the lake. But walking the dog past Bellambi boat ramp at 6.30pm the waves looked nice and smooth. Not that i'm a wavesailor. I've heard people wavesail there occasionally? The rigging area and launch would be fairly ordinary, no boats to worry about yesterday.

Nah. Too tricky, and wind too sketchy where you actually want it.

Hmm, hard to tell from that distance - the sail looks like my 2nd hand 12 to 15yo North Vertigo 5.3 - yellow, grey, & clear. I was out from about 3:50 to 5:20pm. That pic looks like I was on the way out around 4pm - not particularly exciting.

I ended up sailing at valentine, i stoped there for a look on me to canton & it was picking so ruff water it was. was a few guys there 6-8. went a bit SE after 1pm got smoother on the inside but had to stay off the beach a 100m to stay in the wind.
sailing canton has seemed to improve me gybes in 2ft chop, only fell in 3 times in 3hours.

my port side gybes are good just need to practice starboard one's more, oh maybe today i can do that. anyone heading out at canton or there now it looks like its picking up enough. see you's there in a couple of hours.
