Kent reserve near victor or maybe sellicks - sellicks could be a bit ordinary though being this cold - I think the boys got some good conditions at Kent yesterday.

For northern beaches in SSE, Chicken shop or North Haven is okayish, but these days are not worth taking a day off work for.

On Sunday I'm thinking about going to Port Hughes. This is on BOM's 3-7 day forecast at the moment which isn't reliable, so I'm going to wait until Sunday morning before I make my decision. BOM models Spencer Gulf winds pretty reliably.

Kent reserve was insane thursday, 35-40 knots for most of the arvo.

Out on 4.5 sail until it got too much around 5-6pm.

Jamdfinger: The forecast has changed a bit (I can only go by the forecast). It's a throw up between Sems and Pt Hughes in the arv.

Jamdfinger: Me and Kym heading to Port Hughes (Kym's on his way).

Legless: Boggy isn't for me G. I would need to sail there a fair bit to get used to it.

No worries I did not expect that you would consider it. Hope you have a good sail.

Damn!

It was about 12-16kts at the chicken shop on sunday!

I had the 134L out with a 5.0 sail hoping that it would build in the afternoon but no joy!

As always. it picked up to about 20kts just as I got everything packed up.

Ahh well, we will be at Moonta Hopefully on the 24th and 25th.

Glad to hear you guys got a sail there!

Think there was wind on the whole coast the cliff was fun for a few hours as well - and the mid was kranking in on the way home - even if there was tons of seeeeweeed grassssyyyy sh!te attaching itself on most runs - this must be the worse year I can ever recall for seagrass

yeah - Sunday surprised me and turned into an absolute belter of a session - i thought it was going to be marginal but by late afternoon it was spot on (at times fully lit on my trusty 5.8).

i sailed non-stop for three hours until i could hardly catch the boom after a gybe.

i'm sore but still grinning about it today

w00t!
