Sounds good Buzzy. I reakon we would need a rescue boat.

sounds good, might need to carry the old smoke flares.

Sounds good but we'd need a backup boat and a track close to shore we'd have to stick to so we don't get too spread out. Be a bit of fun

Sounds like heaps of fun. I went from Clifton to lauderdale long time ago with Jason steel and others it was fun back then. Sounds like if we get the safety side sorted and we can go for it.

Good idea Buzzy

a low head to georgetown down winder would be pretty good in a nor-wester, northerly

no open water, just a shipping lane to dodge

Sounds good. Years ago we did a Devonport to Hawley Beach which was heaps of fun.

If its anything like i remember it would make the last dash for cash a walk in the park!.
Have done the Clifton-Slopen Main-Lauderdale a few times and usually in a strong seabreeze on the wave gear by myself (did get a bit dodgey there once when the wind died at Slopen!).
Once the wind swell was quite large in the middle and you easily would loose site of each other in the troughs ,i.e you could not see the land.
If conditions were similar to this i would take a fast freestyle wave and flat sail just for control as you are bearing right off the wind and often jumping over very steep wind swell.
would be fun

safety smafetY, If You don't need a safety boat at Marrawah you don't need one here. You will not be blown south in a seabreeze so you break something start swimming!!

Sounds great I'm in anywhere
