hey guys,

you all still keen,

forecast is for 20-25knots,
high tide is 1.55m @ 5.43pm.....

i'll be there around 3pm.

did you guys go to the lake for the races?
the new nxs formula gave the new starboard formula a bit of a touch up. tried it today.... pete has outdone himself with the new design.

Cool,

ok, i will get there a little earlier... tide will be the issue.

pete was on an 8.5

he got a 2 and 3 as well........

No worries, i'll be there

Flat water

dont leave me behind guys, just finished my last exam today then went drinking in d valley, only just got home. is d place sailable b4 3 bcos of tide? im keen to get there earlier as i got to coach at 6.....

hey guys,

if you don't mind walk to waters edge then low tide is ok....

there is a gutter. prob 100m walk.

rigging is at the corner of eagle st and thompson esp.

where did the wind go?

no worries, wil prob get there around 2 n yes got plenty harness lines left, wil bring some today. anyone else want one? brand new north visual speed adjustable $15 a pair.

ok guys,

it's on again. same place. thursday 2/03/06
i'll prob get there at 10am.
forecast is 20-25 knots.
high tide is 2.5m @ 11.25am which is half meter higher than last week.

MKseven, low tide is at 6.00pm would be worth a sniff to see just how flat it can get. last week when i got there early it was dead flat.

Padi, you still keen?

just to let you guys know it has been so windy because i bought the big gear. Huey is now punishing me with strong winds..

the good news is i may have just bought even bigger gear so it should get even windier..

next i will sell all my small gear. that should give us another month of cyclonic winds.[}:)]

hi Vando

last week i got there 4 hours before high tide and it was flat. by 3 hours before high it was just starting to get bumpy,

i have never sailed there on low tide but i think 4pm should be ok.

the only prob will be if at low tide there is not enough water. there are 2 sand banks that stop the chop from building. one is at a very good angle and the other is ok. plus at real low tide you will have to walk through a bit of mud but i don't think it is as bad as wello.
just guessing but there is a boat moored in the channel so there must be water at low tide? if you get a hold of the satelite photos i sent Drjukka you will see the channels. i am keen to see how it holds up with a 0.2m tide height.

Trying to sort out car but should be there.

i went down today at 5pm.... low tide almost.

there was water there and the banks are exposed.

given the wind forecast.[}:)] you should be motoring.

you wouldn't believe my luck that i am on holidays till the end of the week and have been for 2 weeks prior.. i will now take all future holidays around february.

anyone keen?

back to work monday

not sure whether the train or jennifer Ave. would like somewhere bumpy.

Hi guys well finally had run at wello today.
nothing great 15-20 knots with one massive squall at 30+ knots come through. I had a 6.0 up min downhaul had no chance holding it.
by the time I made some adjustments it was gone.
There was some flatter water today with the tide being so low.
Hope for better wind tom.

it is a pity that spot is no good for tea bagging hey padi...

dead onshore wind and boats to sail around

p.s bring the bump and jump gear.

im bringing my 69lit goya out today, now where did i store my 3.5? 40kts today - yeha!
