i'd have a sail before work!

Well that leaves a certain Sydney spot pretty empty, just the way i like it!

where on the harbour / fairlight do you guys head out? Not sure if the lake is going to cut it... although being 7min from work is a plus

Seano, we head out off the beach just by the ferry wharf. In a Southerly it's a straight close haul out to the open area. It's excellent for blasting and the only place i can go before work...

I think ill be joing Crash at Fairlight as its 500 yards from hoem and not a bad place so sail. I will probably head out at near enoough first light and sail for a few hours before heaidng into work, but it really needs to be South to Sou East to work and not the SW as forecast on monday.
Theres no waves but some good sweel comes through the heads and the way the forecast looks could get big.

Good call for Sunday - if it arrives I will have try to Makaha for the 1st time!

ma looks like qwerty might have his sailin cut out next year.
Better make it a good summer before No 2 arrives.

All sorted Donk. #1 can't get enough of the beach as it is. So I'm forced to go sailing anyway. #2 will follow the lead.

And no need to skip work down here. Southerly is going to hit Sunday arvo.

Ed, tried secret spot the other week. Brilliant. W or SW.

I guys, Im keen to get out for a sail Sunday arvo. Can someone please PM me where Makaha is?

Cheers
David

David, Makaha is the Northern side of Long Reef Headland. You rig up at either Brownwater/Fishermans Beach or even Collaroy and then sail upwind to the break.
Great spot in a southerly as the rockshelf tends to make the waves nice and smooth as it makes a break of sorts.

think i might have to leave you guys to it tomorrow morning in the harbour - narrabeen lake took its toll on me today with that westerly, i should recover by afternoon if it swings around to SE.

It was its usual gusty self but I think everywhere else was too. Certainly surprising to get a nice warm windy day when they were forecasting crappy weather. There were quite a few sailors out yesterday as more and more guys realised the wind was on. Lots of lulls and then 25 knot bullets, still bloody good fun though.
Got a display of 31.5 knots on the GPS so Im happy

The boys hit "The Kick" at Collaroy. Never before Have I seen it sailable from the round the corner through to the main beach but.... no wind on the inside. The key was to get two turns and then gybe out but the temptation was too much. Once on the beach it was almost impossible to get back out. Some waves were genuinely mast high (4m) and with cross off wind the rides looked unreal. This was the sort of day when the truly great wavesailers are able to show their skill. I picked up a couple of big ones, managed a dodgy bottom turn and then slid out attempting to outrun the white water. Too much time death gripping the boom worrying about getting smashed. This was in contrast to other sailers who were going really deep, laying down the sail in the bottom turn and then cracking off the top to line up another - Orange NP sail, North Ice guy, Blue Goya sail and others stood out. A classic Sydney day.

Isn't it typical, was green arrows all week and I thought , you beauty, Melbourne Cup, I'll blow that off and go for a sail for the arvo. But what happens??? Yep, talk it up and Huey gets the irits and says screw you, I'm gonna make you slog and plod.
Glad someone got to use yesterdays gale anyway. Any photos taken at all? Larko you get any snaps mate?

Could've been me...

New small board, sail & gps
