Al, nice to see a few waves again, we were flat water sailing. I'm heading up to Marrawah on 17th I think Kaleb is coming, what about you can you get a leave pass.

come on guys post!!! no excuses.

Holy S..T!!

Huston on a 110L slalom ironing board!! least you can iron the wet suit on something now!!!

Fantastic top speed we will have to get out soon and have a real crack on the slalom stuff, even a long distance downwinder run from Clifton to Cremorne????

who is interested in that????

come on seabreezes

Cheers Russ

forecast is looking good here next week for a few days with tides good.... finally James B is back and is on the edge for a 40 too now!!

yeah, Clifton to Lauderdale is the one. have done it a couple of times myself, once you get round the point at clifton its just one big reach over to slopen island/white beach, back to Cremorne then anoither big reach accross the bay and then gybe and fly into Lauderdale.
I did it one once when there was a big swell and when you were right out in the middle you could not see any land!, just a big flock of mutton birds.
Definately something that should be done each summer.
cheers

I'm definitely in for a down wind-run!!! Be good to have partners or other sailors who are not keen to do the down-winder there to drive cars back.

Heading to low head for a sail this afternoon...maybe East beach or Lagoons

I did the early to Bell Buoy this morning, East had a bit of a wind shadow and the ultra high tide is never great there. I had a great sail for a couple of hours until the old UJ I was using shat itself. This resulted in a 15 min swim in ( the water is still pretty cold when you have a long swim).

I ended up well down the beach where the shore break and high tide was moving those watermelon sized rocks around like they were tennis balls (great for giving the gear a groovy stone wash effect, if only sails were made from denim) , mostly cosmetic damage, I was pretty lucky.

Just run back to clifton! to get the car
