Ok, I'm sitting here wondering if I should sneak out of work and hit up Wello...

There are three beacons to choose from... Inner Beacon, Brisbane Airport and now Banana Bank is back.

Based on the first two, I should have left already but Banana Bank is making me hesitate.

The question is...... which beacon should I look at for Wello and does it depend on the direction of the wind?

Clintos, with your ability to pick seabreezes i would not have imagined you needing to resort to such primative wind gauges.

Haha... Whilst my powers are formidable, I do need to be actually there to channel the seabreeze detecting power...

Anyway, it looks like I should have just gone... it appears as if I've missed out on an awesome afternoon session...

Hey mate., it depends on the direction of the wind bruh.

Banana Bank is good 4 anything Sly or Ely.
Inner Beacon + Spitfire is for anything Nly but its 5-10knots less than that at Wello (usually).
Brisband Airport - Wly ahhummm...

About that. Will talk 2 u and show u on the weekend mate.
