Hi Crew - March long weekend a few of us have been discussing a road trip - fri - sunday, camp out and get some waves.

Options
West coast - for most of us un-sailed (7 hour + drive to Ellsiton or Pt Lincoln)

South east heading there for Easter so maybe somewhere different (4 hour Drive Beachport / Robe)

Yorkes - haven't sailed there - plenty of waves (and crowds) if the surf is happening - (4 hour drive Gleesons Landing / Marion Bay)

?Somewhere else - may have to call it the week before based on weather forecast

Not sure of the best spot for this time of year but really want some waves and wind (and a few surfs as well)

Any thoughts - or wind stats for that time of year - should still be some SE patterns - gotta have waves !!!!

how can you get sick of robe? normally consistant wind and waves! west sounds good but its not worth it just for a weekend!

definatly

thats it jimbob get the crew down here as theres something for everyone

Chris, pm'ed you the add and phone numbers for the place on the beach at pelican point.

keen. marty helped me with new brake pads on the van so she is a bit safer for a road trip now!!!

Russ with the current wind and swell forecast we might be able to stay close to home for a saiul over the long weekend, close like Seacliff??

Keeping an eye on it - possibility of NW fri/sat morn followed by a change and then sse Car is playing up at the moment so I may have to walk!!!

we have a spare russ if you need one........

Always wanted to take a new Forrester for a spin

Im doing Robe if it is Windy. After two great sails in two days this weekend - with 30 knots and decent surf (although not huge), I gotta get some more!

Looks like a trip to day street on saturday could be about as far as I am gonna get now - with the weekend money going to a replace a slowly steaming radiator in the commode - doh!!!

I'm in doesn't Seacliff look great at this stage. Can't wait might have to do a morning and an arvo session.

The bbq and a beer sounds like a nice way to finish.

Sunday sailing as well and monday to recover, it doesn't get much better than that.

They have just changed the forecast again. Monday has green arrows now.

Far out that was huge change from this morning - now looks like Day street - which sounds awesome as there predicting 2-3foot swell

Might give any type of BBQ planning a miss in the future - just like Aus Day - forecast changes more than most people change their undies!!

These cut of lows are always a bit dodgy

It's green again!

Water and land map on bom is indicating 22 - 27 knot sw. I wont say too much though as we all know what can happen.

were to go- seacliff is southwest/day street if west!!! and hoping to get some stuff done around the house too!

^^^ love to join you but after $900 worth of car repairs in the last two weeks I can't afford to go anywhere
