Hi Jimbob,

Good to hear about lake george. Keep us posted on the lake situation. The monday of the long weekend was awesome. Would be great to have another weekend down there. The gps to get at the moment is the navi gt-31.

Cheers.

Hey Jamie,
Great to here the lake level might be topped up. I'm thinking I'll be over there Sunday for a kite if the wind stays as forecast.

I have a Navi GT-11 with case for sale if interested ?

Chef, there has been huge tides here and heaps going into the lake, had a look 2 weeks ago and water was getting from the little into the middle lake. there was still a dry strip to the big lake. but is looking promising, still will be a lot of mud around the outside. the kites where on the middle lake then but looked to shallow for our fins. 3 weeks time should be OK. can sail on the big lake just a huge walk out. will take some photos soon. The bay and surf is always my first option. pm me as I am always keen for someone to sail with and have just got an RS4 sail for the lake I need to try out.
Jimbob.

Keep us in the loop as well :)

Chef and Sailhack, on October long weekend there will be a windsurfing event at Beachport , speed out the lake and waves at surfbeach , last year the SA social wave sailors ran this for the first time and we had about 40 sailers. top weekend. we would like some more vics to come over seeing as it halfway for you all and the adelaide crew, waves are expression sessions so plenty of sailing for all and might try and organize some buoys from the yacht club for some old wave slalom carnage in the surf.

Sounds good to me jimbob will just have to check roster ( i do FIFO 4 and 1 in WA )
Scotty sounds keen to head over still so hopefully the wind gods will play ball

cheers Mark

Was at B'Port/Lake G' at Easter on the bike, any chance of getting that grader/excavater to create/extend a speed bank on the lake

Hi,
does anyone have an update on the lake?

I was kiting there on the weekend.

Bottom end of the lake is still to swallow for windsurfers,ok for kites.

Top lake (nortern side of spit) has plenty of water in it. (A bit of a walk out to deeper water tho).

The spit is not and probably will never be as good as it use to be.

The track from the gate to the spilt is now passable in a 2 wheel drive car as per Jimbo's previous posts.

Some latest photo's of the lake from yesterday (Wednesday 26th August)

5 mile drift, middle lake, end of gravel road. 5 to 10 metre walk out.



middle lake from spit looking back to town.



Out the spit, big lake right side - 50 metre walk out then over your head deep 300 metres out, middle lake left side - 75 metre walk out and only chest deep in the middle, you can stand up anywhere here, good for stuffed gybes !!




the spit big lake side.




Dzub here is the photo of the rocky hill, been bulldozed no worries in a car now.




Surf Beach, always plenty of water here, the swell has been pumping lately.




and finally Lake Divaldo (salt lake/poll of silioam) is full,

Remember guys, respect the farmer.
Shut the gate, stay on the track and take all rubbish home.
ENJOY
