Looks as though it will be northerly.The course has changed slightly,the boat ramp just north of Runaway Bay Marina will be the the new starting point,it is at Centenary Drive[if it is northerly].This spot has two boat ramps and toilet facitilies plus a lot more parking, but only boats can launch from there,Jet skies will still have to launch from Constance Esp.and go north to the starting point,it only takes about 2mins.This also gives us access to three ramps which will ease congestion. We will start the girls sup at 9am, briefing at 10 to nine.The mens sup and paddle boards at 9.30,briefing at twenty past nine. Outriggers start at 10am,briefing at 9.35am. Skies follow at 10.30am.Hopefully we will all arrive around the same time,See you there.

Although all weather sites are saying it's going to be N.W on Saturday morning. I have been speaking to pro fishermen and they are tipping it from the South West early ?????????

Personally I don't think we will get the weather predicted.

I think Johns phone will be very busy Friday night.

Just to let everyone know that the boat ramp at Constance Dr is 4x4 only the last time i used it i know i got my van stuck. i have always launched my ski at the northern end of centenary they just don't like people reeving there engines there and that shouldn't be a prob since we will be leaving from there. I'll still use the other one as i should be in a 4x4 but if you only have a car then you might want to check it first.
