Hey out there - Where best tomorrow in SA - Northerly looks promising

Sure is mate
But about as useful as tits on a bull from where I am

Hey Bogey,

Boggy Lake looks the goods in South Australia! North to north westerleys 20 - 30 knots are good for flat water and speed at boggy. Good for the 4 state 1 hour challenge.

cheers,

Carl

Don't get yourself all confused Bob
Of course you got the right "bogey" - I just really can't get to Green that easily -3000kms and a boat ride by tomorrow morning
I'll have to take my chances here

That is a good forecast, pity work will get in the way

No can do Carl, body damage is my thing at the moment, tried to gybe in 3 inches of water at goolwa on Saturday, I dont recommend it. New boom this week though.... :)

Well I sailed from the yatch club to the barages, had my stack just 100 mtrs short of the barages, on the second inlet on hindmarsh island, snapped boom, sailed it back though (I am a legend I know) but I probably could have walked back on the same tack as I sailed out on! So pretty farken shallow! 18 inches in some places.

Kym sailed all day with her 266 Flow, 27 inch fin, no real issues except when slow gybing,

So its still sailable, but with high winds and lack of water flow in murray makes it a bit tricky

Hey Guys,

You should start sailing in the ocean. When Mike Rann puts the lock in up river it will really affect Boggy and Goolwa.


The mid coast is really good on a northerly wind. It is even better when there is swell.

We do sail in the ocean.....

I just checked the forecast on the net a few minutes ago boggy should be the goods until thursday night when the high moves over s.a unfortunately its looking rubbish for all you weekend worriors so better do a runner from work in the next couple of days if you want to get a session in this week.

We are now the same Susie, IMO sailing in the ocean requires a certain skill level, which we are now both at, ie very profficient at water starts and can turn around most of the time, Sailing in the sea gives you more bouyancy, although you have to wash ur gear :(
Footnote: The weir will never happen! Too bloody expensive

Yeah....... derrr
I'll sail almost ANYWHERE if there is WIND. I'm not that fussy, as long as I dont have to do the sailboard boogie. Sometimes theres no wind on the OCEAN but good wind on the lake - and boggy is often at least 5 knots stronger than goolwa. Hmmmm ....Salt water, yum, I can hardly remember the taste. just mud where I am

Do you reckon Goolwa will be sailable over the next couple weeks. I'm there for a week, two weeks after easter. Can't wait, but last time i sailed in about 30cm deep water around at the barrage, every time i stacked it realy hurt. Sounds like the smaller range of fins will be the go. No longer than 35cm? (there goes dads 50)

Bubs

Ben,

Next time there is a forcast for solid wind I will put it up on the forum. Its good the hear you still come over to South OZ for a sail. I hope to see you on the water one day.
