Cliffo,

Back Off MateI do the comedy routines on this forum!!

Get in touch, I'll give you the low down, on sailing tommorow, best winds hit around 9 am and go till 11am, check graphs, peli point good, or other side near Raffles.

mate I am as p**** off as you are...

But basically : They ( meteorologists and models) don't have a clue what 's goin on at this time of the year.

For the long range forecast they expect the front and low pressure to come higher up and to go thru closer to Perth.But it never happens.
It is usually a bit better in the winter but still I wouldn't get too excited at anything more than 3-4 days forecasts.
So if you see some green arrows at the very right of the graph, you could start to get excited only when they reach the middle
Even in winter I wouldn't plan too much as sometimes the front is maint to go thru in the morning and end up going thru during the night etc..etc...

So you have to be ready all the time..and then GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!



well all that cr*p talk but still meanwhile we are bloooooody stuck on the land

As I have posted before the first few fronts forecast in winter never happen 98% of the time, the decent fronts never happen till after mid May.
But I don't really care at the moment I had an eye op 2 weeks ago so I can't sail (not allowed)for 4 weeks after the op.
mmm perfect timming I reckon.

Greenie,

We need to have words about you and your deal with the doctor

Cliffo and Leski,

I wish you two would take this topic seriously, I've now matured and can't see the point in all this humour stuff, or as the French would say WIT

bluejuice, what happened to your eyes were they stuffed from too much sun ? seems to be a bit of a hazard if you spend lots of time on the water.

Yep that U.V. light over the many years of sailing had caused a small fatty growth over my eye called a pyterigium. So I had it cut out and then another bit at the back of my eye was cut out and stitched in place of the bit that was initially removed. All under a local aneasthetic it was a bit like one of those Alien abductions minus the anal probe.

Greenie,

How can I make you laugh when I am so deeply depressed

You don't know what it's like having EOD

What's EOD you ask Erectile Overfunctioning Disorder, how can I make people laugh when I am burdened by this horrible affliction.

Have you ever been at the beach on a calm morning, lathering yourself in lotion, ensuring you cover the bits around your G-String, when Whalla! The seabreeze blows in, yes it's flip over, punch a hole in the sand, and wait for the first gusts to abate, so you can walk back to the carpark without being mobbed by all the single women on the beach. You think this is funny do youand I thought you were a mate, Yeh some MATE By the way the wife has banned me from wearing the G-String to the beach when there's any hint of windBugger

I have to humiliate my self so you can get a few cheapies, HOW CRUEL BUT, because I know your'e in Karratha, and away from your young family, I make this sacrifice for thee

Week ahead's looking unreal, Thursday spectacular. Setting the alarm for the early!

Thank god for work.

Is it possible for the graph to flatline? If so do we break out the paddles?

yeah, no, I was being sarcastic, but the graph's come good, I think. Maybe if the graph was programmed to always display 20 knots SW 6 or 7 days out it would at least keep Perth crew optimistic. But that's sort of sadistic, in a way.

the weather guy on the east coast (douple island point - coolongata) was like that i think.. they would post up 20-25kts. and we be sitting around in 10kts.
i think he might have been a windsurfer and just thought.. if i write it , it will be so

The graph certainly mocks us! This one will come good though because Sunday is Mother's Day and I will be divorced if I even think windsurfing.

Did anyone get a sail in last weekend? There was a solid SE breeze in Cowaramup... (...where I was again on prior engagements...)


Getting gone!!!

see. you got to get rid of family and friends that have family and don't windsurf.. also its a good idea to get rid of your job.. once you have some cool stuf that will last you a few years....
oh and somewhrer along the way pick up a friend that like to swim and float about all day and take photos.. ..

then you only hang out with people such as your self and you can always go windsurfing..

Who has been letting the kids draw the graphs again on the long range forecast? April fool was a month ago. We may have to book you in for an eye test to avoid getting 5's and 2's mixed up.

Wind ...... and Rain ...... Impossible. Perth is a sad place in that we look forward to either.

Bewdy!

Riding the pushie in the rain and wind on the Terrace will be interesting again.

Down @ Safety Bay on Mothers Day - will have sneak away - I have been putting on weight in preparation for this!

Kid's soccer in the rain and wind @ Cockburn wind tunnel on Sunday morn should be a hoot!

May all our dreams come true!
