Looks like a good day due for Wednesday - who is in for a Middleton? Also planning a dawn patrol for Thur morning at Semaphore - anyone available to zip up my wetsuit?

I still have a big appetite despite:
- Semaphore dawn assalt last Wed
- Semaphore afternoon delight last Wed
- Rippleton Sat arvo and bakery run
- Seacliff dawn assult Sun morning

So count me in Geoff for Wed bakery run at dribbleton and a dawn assault on Thurdsay (either Semaphore or Seacliff).

Hail in the hail!

Hindmarsh Island recorded 35-48 knts AT 430 PM - Sounds like one hell of a squall - was looking dark and dirty when I left

Fun session until Geoff's shark story put the poops up me afer yesterdays dramas.

nearly ran over the whale once - certainly some nice waves on offer

so Geoff are we talking like whale bitey size shark <3m...... or a little cute baby dolphin wanna be >3m?????? definatly does feel different when there are animals around! whales, dolphins sharks seals. i think were pretty lucky to have such close encounters with the whales! its pretty cool.

Myself and Geoff Mitton once saw the biggest thing i've ever seen in the water at dribbleton and it was no seal, it wasn't a whale it wasn't a dolphin, it was a big as ****, big as your car white pointer. Your in SA there gonna be there. good luck

I sailed almost straight over it then saw the whale in the distance. It has a fit on the top - shark like. Was around 3m but not the whale. Seal - only if they have a shark like fin on the top and swims side to side...

Next time there's whales and dolphins I will bring my mask, snorkel and fins and hopefully one of you can tow me out so I can swim with them!!
On second thoughts, maybe I will sail out (with a mates shark shield) then swim!!
