Just leaving work now , cant decide between pond or Dorans.
the forcast is SW making the pond a poor choice, it comes in over the hills

Howrah was probably the best option.

Where abouts do you launch from?

I nearly went to Howrah on my way to Dorans, it looked good there. Fos you go out at Little Howrah Beach, just before Howrah rd turns hard left (near the News Agency and that group of shops, chemist etc).

Yes off the end of little howrah beach really great in a seabreeze (se) or ssw or s have to drift for 30 m to the wind line but grass to rig on right on the waters edge out of the breeze.

Howrah was great yesterday. Had a great time other than snapping another fin off at the base Like dad said fos, park at little Howrah and dog round the corner for a few metres. Great in any wind from the south, good in a north west...just don't go there if it's west, it looks good but it's not! Watch out for rocks too. There are a few that stick out a fair way off the bottom.

Wash your mouth out Jezza. The latte sippers are dressed in Lycra with poodles or on $10,000 push bikes comparing bulges riding five abreast along Sandy Bay Rd.
The hard folk drink their coffee black with the spoon standing vertical in the cup at home in the morning. Not at some @$nky cafe. Then the hard ones go windsurfing for hours and drink something far more quenching,
Let us know if you're coming to "The Bay" and we'll do some long runs in a howler of a southerly sea breeze one day! Just like back in "The Day" oh sorry forgot you were still in a pram!!!
