I'm keen. Being new to VP, I'd like to know, Is there enough water at low tide. Saturday low tide is middle of the day. Is it worth going there at all. I use fins on the slightly larger size.

Dag, you can launch at Thomsons Beach, at low tide you will have a long walk to the water, but once out in the water the depth is fine once you get out deep enough, unless you are using formulae fins then I would'nt know. You can B&J or if you want flat water you can sail out to a very long sand bank for a bit of blasting Hope that helps

Hi Haggar 0.8 isn't really low enough for the bank.
It might come out but only for a short time.
I might still go and check it out

Thanks Vando for that. I think I read that Pierre and Sean sailed at another spot there other then the bank, and maybe not on a low tide, where was that

Elliott Heads will be on though. Don't need a desperately low tide there.

Wello was open last Sunday. Traffic was a bit slow through a single lane bit where the road subsided.

Not that big a drive. 4 hours from Nth Bne, double lanes all the way to Cooroy.
Central Qld is gonna be going off over the next week.
