Hmmm... Think I'll try VP if the SEQ mob doesn't beat me up in the car park.

So what's the go? Is everyone heading to VP then?

I can't decide whether to go to wello or VP. I obviously want to go to the one with the most wind and swell.

What are conditions like out there today?

Hey Gestalt,

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn't it? I guess you can find solace in the graphs. It wasn't exactly howling...

Here's hoping next weekend produces the goods.

You made a good choice Gestalt, where's your crystal ball ?
Did you check out www.predictweather.co.nz/ this bloke Ken Ring predicted on Today Tonight the strong winds in NSW last week, he got that right !! I'll watch this over the next week and see if there is anything to this.

Thanks Haircut, you're a legend!

Bit embarrassing having so many of me, but it's great to see those f%$^& gybes from an outsider's perspective...

Awaiting Chairman's verdict

Well that was a fizzer. Just me n Albert out at VP. He sailed 40 nm, half of it dredging with a 7.2 and I was out on a widey with a 6.5. The only reason I had the 6.5 up was because I didn't think I'd get going anyway with a 7.2 so I thought I'd practice some light wind fs. In the event I was planing for an hour or so. It was worth it though - cold feet n all.

bellara is prob better in a westerly. i just checked the locations guide and i think i may have to update that one. still i believe wello to be the king in a westerly.

my thoughts on the weekend is saturday we will get a WSW. this is a very good direction at bongaree. actually in a SW or WSW bongaree is probably the best place around. then sunday SW and howling.

at this stage looking towards a saturday meet. will keep an eye on things and confirm as usual. but big green light.........

next meet is in the planning, will be redcliffe and big event.

then the following meet shoud see us hitting Kirra in august. fingures crossed. and NW's on schedule

hopefully after that off to mooloolaba for a N/NE.

then who knows. the wind will show us the way!

How's the forecast looking now, Gestalt?

Whereabouts are you thinking? And it's scheduled for Saturday, is that right?

Hi Nebbian,

yep saturday is on!

the location is south esplanade at the bbq on the foreshore.

so you drive over the bridge, go around the round about and head back towards the bridge,
the turn left before you go back over the bridge and follow the road along the foreshore.
then turn right into the apex park at bongaree. follow the road over the small bridge and keep going into south esplanade.

i'll have the marquee setup in front of the bbq to act as a wind break.

just checking, did you get the newsletter?
