By all accounts the forecast looks good for a nice warm saturday sail somewhere, anyone thinking middleton in the morning with the NW'er then the metro coast with the change? Cant wait, green arrows forecasted for a weekend, unheard of.

Was planning a dawny at the mid if its NNW cross/cross off and the swell arrives - arvo at seacliff or the mid

The forecast is making the dawny look less and less likely - Day street might be the go in the morn - don't know if I could be stuffed driving there.

Is there going to be wind tomorrow? I am keen for a good mid coast season, new swell coming. Yesterday was on up north.
Fingers crossed for a windy weekend.

See ya at Goolwa tomorrow :). Steve (pirrad) is coming down as well.

(I was stung on the neck and groin by a small swarm on bees last night. So I hope I don't feel too ill tomorrow. BOM charts look sweat)

Woah woah woah. You don't just drop a casual comment like that without an explanation, so please explain.

I have read before* about people who are unable to "get excited" without getting stung by bees on parts of the body that, in my opinion, should be shielded from bees at all costs.

Just so you don't feel shy biscuit, we're all friends here, brought together by our love for wind-surfing- no-one's going to judge you...

*one thing about the internet, you realise that no matter how perverse or unusual a practice someone might be into, there's always a forum group for it...present company excluded of course!

Great session at Goolwa today . Pity the wind died in the arse after 3ish (and the long drive home ). Nice seeing you again Steve. There were a few beginners down there which was good to see.

Trousers: I got stung while hacking through the hills on an unfared motorcycle on Thursday evening. It's very common hazard for riders this time of year.
