Anybody here from the Coffs Harbour area? Had a wicked sail at Sawtell Southside yesterday (Monday)...can't believe there was a 17kt seabreeze and it's still winter :)
Bring on summer!

I do a bit of wave sailing up that way a few weeks a year and the only fellas I know around that way is the surf shop owner from Scotts Head(about 50 K's below Coffs) and his brother who bothe live in Nambucca.You should try and catch up with them,they know heaps of good spots down that coast.

Yamba still has a strong crew. A good NE and Pippi will get 15-20 guys out white Turners Beach gets 10-15 sailors for the flat water. There are others at Coffs, they will appear when the winds arrive. See you at Woolgoolga Oct long weekend.

the latter

Both.
Haven't stayed in the other one (its a few minutes out of town anyway if its the one I'm thinking of), but the one in town is pretty good. Most of the crew will stay there, and you can walk to the pub from there too.

Not 2 far 2 stagger home. And the NRL G.F is on the sunday night.(Go Newcastle). Still not 100% sure if I can make it though as the car has sh#t itself. Getting fixed again tomorrow.
What happened to the kittens qwerty???

I am a bit of a wacko. But I see the trip as part of the adventure. Just like a long watch on a yacht, I find a long drive at night almost relaxing. It is all to do with your frame of mind. Just being out and having dinner at a roadhouse amuses me. How else could I get from Gerroa on a sunday arvo back to Brisbane for work on a Monday morning after a comp. Just drive and enjoy the adventure.
PS. Go the Kittens!!!!

Being a newbie to East Coast wavesailing and the comps I'm keen as mustard to check these events out. luckily i get time off for events from work and as i don't drive a truck it doesn't matter if i'm cream crackered for work!

10 hours drive... will have to leave at 8pm on monday to get to work on time!

BTW are the comps ever windy?!

Qwerty, were you at Birubi?

Sounds like there's a krew brewin for the Woopi contest.... catch ya then!
