Whoops....Bussleton jetty, silly question.

How long till we see a graph of Melbourne like that. It's been windy here for months now?

Stupid strong East winds for the next week with not a hint of the little red arrows.



Probably only good for a 30km downwinder Mt Eliza to St Leonards on Friday - but I can't see anyone getting excited about wanting to do that.



Although the 6km StKilda to Williamstown does look a little more tempting though. Hang on a min - anyone interested in doing that?

Doesn't take long on a windsurfer but I have noticed some traffic - qued up container ships hammer through here and I suspect a few loonies on SUPs might not show on the radar! That aside, if its early arvo I'm in.

Friday is looking good for a paddle from Pt Ormond (Elwood) across to Williamstown or Altona.

I've done it may times windsurfing and it's a pretty long way..but I reckon 1-2 hours tops paddling with an East wind.

The whole car shuffle thing is a bit of a pain tho getting across the Westgate bridge and back before we even start.
