K Dog thanks for the quick post. Someone is itching for a sail. I know I am.

Myself
Saturday: Morning I have some family duties and then from lunchtime at Bonno.
Sunday: WV & MSC is hosting the 3rd round of the WV & MSC winter course racing clinic and social racing series at Mordi Sailing Club. This Sunday SHQ have provided WV with a couple of NP RS:One kits. I will be there helping out and racing. If you get some time on father's day, you should all come down to Mordi sailing club. Bring your kit to.

I was waiting at Green Point from 2:30 - 4pm no bloody wind at all, did he have lights on?

Rye would be good but G.P too handy. Heading off within the hour, whilst the family goes father's day shopping.

Had great sail today at Mordi Sailing club. Thanks to SHQ for supplying an additional 2 RS:One kits for the WV & MSC coursing racing clinic and social racing.

Good fun at Woolamai this morning. Small swell but the low tide made for some nice rides. I'm stuffed.
Bring on Tuesday

^^^ Hey Jason, I went over to the loch last weekend with big gear (wife had a day with girls & I had nothing else to do) - 5kts too light and the floating grass wrecked my chances of planing - must invest in a weedy.

On a brighter note - Portland harbour was brilliant this Saturday with the northerly and again yesterday with the NWer off Dutton way - although a bit offshore...but flat & a few nice gusts!

Feckin fishing net nearly spoiled my day (and a yacht's that was powering toward them). Planing along nicely & decided to go between floats (normally lines down a bit), hit a floating line - my board & rig went from about 20kts to 0kts in less than a second, whilst it took a bit longer for me to stop as I was doing the superman! The yacht skipper must've seen me get catapulted & turned just in time.

G'day Scotty,
I nearly went out last week but ended up supping. Lot of fun and I reckon it's helped my windsurfing. I'll keep an eye on this area when the weekends are looking windy. If it's light northerlies I'm probably going supping.

No good about the nets, hope you didn't break any gear.

Lake George at beach Port is looking great, I'm probably going to head over during the school holidays, if you or any of the Portland crew are keen we could load up a trailer. Check out the SA thread for photos.

If its mainly south on Sat, Shoram will be good on the incoming tide!
