[}:)] [}:)] [}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)]

the family has been put on notice.

thankyou huey. you are the true god of the wind's//////

c u there vando.

i guess there will be a crowd at wello...

maybe with the southerly, a certain spot would be better and then wello on sunday,

Hey Gestalt if the wind direction is more south vp speed strip will be a go low tide 12.30.

Vando,

if the wind you have jonxed comes back, keen to give the VP run a try.

Justin, buy that wetsuit!!

-J

oh well, time to get on the big gear....again.

formula gps time.

p.s.

i still think it will blow on the weekend. but i guess the 5.3 goes back into storage.

well it sure don't feel like it greenie,

25 Deg temps and NE winds....

all i ask for is just one 30 knot westerly,,,,,,, and on a weekend... can't keep falling sick the night before only to see the forecast not come true. i am fast running out of diseases to tell my boss i got.

if it is windy monday i may need to reverse over the dog and tell the boss i am at the vet.

maybe notwal has hatched another of his cunning plans to turn up at wello and have his beloved van scare the wind away. [}:)]

i will take that as a word from the wise....

narrowneck awaits.

Mr. Huey,

I bring to your attention the recent sacrifice I made of a perfectly good mast extension and unijoint. I don't know if this counts as a virgin, being secondhand when I got it, but I can say sincerely that to the best of my knowledge it's cherry hadn't been popped when it was delivered unto you.

Since this has happened, you have been stubbornly refusing to deliver wind.

I hope that you can set this matter straight within a week.

vicki point sunday?????

sat wello,
sun vici point
mon bloody work.

by the way what is the go with tides and tidal flow at Shearwater?

Shearwater is quite close to the seaway (just to the north of it), so when the tide's going in or out it really cranks. The local name for this is the "conveyor belt" effect. Good when it's wind against tide, but you do a lot of walking back upwind when the wind is in the same direction as the tide. So much so that if you're super keen and go there when the tide is going the wrong way you won't find anyone there except maybe some beginners who don't know any better, or experts who are great at going upwind.

In a southerly you want the tide to be going down.
In a northerly you want the tide to be going up.

The train is much less tide-affected, and it's the other side of the seaway, so when the tide's wrong at shearwater it's good at the train.

Ok, so VP's a good flat speed strip, but how do you sail it at low tide without having to carry your gear half a mile to launch?
Is there a deeper spot to launch from? You can have that regular spot when it's low tide - what a joke.

is vic point closer to coomera than wello? I'd like to have a try there too. I'd head up to suttons, but with the shower forecast I think its a long way to go with the high risk of it being crappy, but i really enjoyed it last time
