Gestalt, What is the water state like there in a westerly. Will we be going for times? Or is it more of a bump and jump thing.

Good onya Gestalt, pay no heed to those heathens, did they have the wherewithal to organise a meet? Nah didn't think so.

See you there, if I can find the place! I'm bringing the GPS in case I get lost

thanks nebbian,

an extra sausage and double helpings of bacon for you sir!


salty, my guess would be both. problem is it is all related to wind strength. i am thinking bump and jump early and speed later in the day.

just a tip for everyone that gets there early.

best to sail up the passage towards the bridge once you launch.

with an outgoing tide in the early part of the day once you get past bribie next stop is moreton island. sailing up the passage means you have some land to get to just in case.


also, if you tack upwind towards pebble beach the water will be very flat. very very flat.

Not sure about the wind, just worked out how to enter custom spots into Windguru for Bongaree Bribie, and it shows it dropping off during the day, hope its wrong Better pack the lite wind gear as well

hi guys and everyone else that made the trip.

thanks for coming. that was a glorious day. Also good to see you guys take advantage of the demo gear and head out on the formula kit.
pity the wind was only maxed at 15 knots.

next meet will be a massive gearswap held at redcliffe. in about 4 weeks time. either pelican park or suttons.

hey i got loads of photos. and the one of you in the crash hat mk is a classic. you look like you need some special help. got a couple of good ones of you too haggar.

will post them out to you.

also got one of junior walking around in his dunna. gold!

i'll get the write up on the website in the next few days and upload the photos on seabreeze.

see you soon.

Thanks Justin,

Wind didn't cooperate but It was a really nice day just the same. Got to have a ride with Pete on his tandem. That's an experience everyone should have before they die.
