DJ, there is a 4 man outrigger canoe with sail doing the downwind run from Sandy to Mornington leaving 9.30 am, keep an eye out. Guys a good friend of mine and off duty copper so make sure you park legally..lol

Thanks.. Will do.. and I'll look out for them.

That should be a good DW'er for them tomorrow..

Hope they can reef that sail in a bit.. 30 knots forcast often means 40+ knots in the gusts..

Sandringham to Mornington - that's a good 30km. Glad there's 4 of them.

If he does get an escort, he wouldn't want to use the credit card, not like what that politician bloke from the health services union allegedly did....

They called it off DJ, too windy for the sail rig they have, trying again tomorrow this time from Werribee. Hope they've had their Tetanus shots.

So they're doing a downwinder on the Werribee sewage farm tomorrow?..

I think the only DW'er they'll get tomorrorr would be from Geelong back to St Kilda... The wind is due to turn before dawn.

Shame they piked it today.. I was looking forward to catching up with Tony and the others.. It was about 20-30 of warm north wind.. Boardies and lots of runners.. Heaps of fun..

We had a huge crew today..with about six out in front of me.. Then another six following and a short time after another few joining in the fun.. Along the way I saw a few others out there that I didn't know also down winding..

Looks like it's catching on..
