nope, no shows when the wind is away.

i'm not convinced with monday due to people having work.....

i looked at some more models. there may be a chance next weekend but it is a long way off.

2 models show a low forming next week in the coral sea.

option 1 model shows it going to the GOC then a trough thingy on the weekend (upper level)
option 2 model shows the low closer to us.

option 2 is good

but it is impossible to tell

looks like VP gets the nod.

i will be there around 10.30 to set things up and if it's windy i'll be looking at getting on the water as early as possible.

high tide is around noon so bbq and lucky draw etc will be mid arvo. depending on the wind.

the late arvo tide is .3m,

see everyone there.

agree, have wanted to have a meet there but the lack of amenity is a problem.

that's why we usually end up at the train.

Merry Xmas to yer all.
I am still in Ingham, glad I didn't bother to drag any gear up here as there has been no wind.
I'm looking at the nice southerly change today and wishing you all a great sail.
Never mind, I'll be back next week, and have a few weeks to dig in and sail.
