Given a reasonable chance of wind
Redcliffe is a nice day out

looking towards the saturday on Dec 1st for the meet.

the longrange forecast shows SE's prob 15-20 knots. tide will also be high for the afternoon.

at this stage we will attempt pelican park but will be open to any of the other redcliffe venues as they are all within 10 minutes of each other.

i'll confirm closer to the date whern the forecasts are more accurate. hope the date is good for all.

cheers
Gestalt.

hmmmmm,,,,, anyone seen the forecast?

Saturday has gone from red to yellow to green over the last 3 days. It's looking good.

..... in a house that contains females !

I might bring some head gear that u can hang your towel on. Unless there is lightning then I'll stay right away.

What TH.... the forecasts headed for the bottom.
hmmmm.... good weather for girls.

cheers notwal for the directions.

unfortunately we will need to postpone the meet for tomorrow. the doldrums are now up to week 3 and the forecast is heading towards 5-10 knots. at this stage I am looking towards sunday next weekend.

more info to follow.

I think we all need some lightwind friendly boards, no YOU all need some lightwind friendly boards, I've already got one!!!!

I agree, KA72, it should be on, conditions should be perfect for the planned "WindWanderers Women in Windsurfing meet", same as today I'd recon. Not only that, I go under the knife for some more skin cancer surgery Wed & may not be able to sail next weekend!!! BUGGER

this is a difficult position to be in but i think it is best to postpone. the wind today was only 8-12 knots. the guys at manly had around 10-13 knots. other than formula kit that just isn't enough wind to get everyone going so the numbers will be well down.

i understand though that some will have timing issues. i'll do everything i can to resolve that. even if it means postponing the meet further to allow all the girls to get out on the water at the same time. an extended delay will allow at least 3 other girls to join in.

i don't like having to postpone these things as much as everyone else but i can't control the wind and i think we need to keep the club flexible to be able to sail on days when it's windy. we still have low wind meets because of the outcomes when we fix a date for a particular event. like the xmas party and gearswaps for example. so i am confident there will be plenty of light wind learner opportunities coming. that said even on the days where it is forecast to blow, early in the mornings have good conditions for beginners and i can take advantage of that.

i am definately sorry to do it but i think it is the best choice.
