I'll be working unfortunately, but I hope you get some good runs over the next few days - and some go pro footage.

Don't want to be a nanny, but for those new to this be aware that you should have a PFD - as the St Kilda to Sandy run can take you more than 400m from shore.

Good point Ross.. but it's not a problem if you stay in close..


Safety is a bigger issue/concern when there's some nor'easter in the wind because it can blow your off shore.. Tomorrow should have nor'west in it.. so if anything the wind should be blowing you towards shore..

We will stay together and have a few stops along the way to regroup.

I can't get the current Seabreeze forecast map at the moment, something's gone wrong with it and it's showing me the forecast from last week. On Baywinds, I'm getting the brown arrows for Friday - 40 knots - but it looks like it's swinging west fairly early. Might be best to make the most of Wednesday/Thursday, and hopefully Friday will still be good, but don't depend on it.

Aussies win the team time trial.. AWESOME..

Hope todays run went well, the wind seemed to stay pretty true north.
Still a 10.30 am start tomorrow?

We are staring a little earlier tomorrow (Thursday)

10am sharp meeting at Sandy for a 10.30 start at St Kilda.

See you there.

DJ

Yesterday's (Wed) downwinder was good.. Today's (Thu) will be awesome.

It's been a constant 35 knots for hours and should stay like that for our run.

DJ

Yes Stu it was great, sure was gusting with some deep troughs and long runs and needless to say it was very cold in the water....

Just like to thank DJ and all the crew for their great welcome and help for the last two days. It always makes a difference when you are welcomed into a group with a smile.Had a ball, never had 20 knots. Lots of face plants but great experience.Look forward to doing it again.

Thanks Again guys.
