I busted a rib at touch footy - so out this weekend - which means you should all get good wind

FYI, Sunday at Torquay sailing club (Zeally bay) is the annual "Catamaran v Windsurfers" race. Around 1pm.

BOM says 25 knot easterlies by midday, that race will actually be worth watching!!

can anyone enter?

Very, very very casual thing... the start time will be anywhere from 1pm - 3pm wind dependant..

Great fun at the Gap today. A fair few guys out on 4.5 - 5.5 ish sails enjoying the conditions by the looks of it. Twisted my angle trying to land a pathetic attempt at a jump on my second run out but sailed for a few hours anyway, ankle fairly tender but having too much fun to stop. Few of the guys heading off to the Pit later in the afternoon for the low tide.

Wind was annoying slow to develop today but when it did it was awesome off Mornington. Got particularly strong about 8pm. Was way over powered at times on 5.5. Fun though.

Great being able to sail in just a rashie too.

Busy as Bourke St late in the day at Sth Ricketts. And sizes from mid 4's to 7's - all depending on how late you arrived I guess, plus a few people have a bit of practice on bigger gear for the Breakwater to Beacon next w'kend.

Is anyone else noticing how warm the bay temp is, by the way? Guess that's what you get when you have warm days and warm nights and not much wind to mix it al up. At least there isnt many jellyfish (yet).

How close was it when I was sailing next to you and that guy in front gybed into me!!
that was a bit scary

I was slightly maxed on the 7m..
