Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?

Well there is not really a lot of wind forecast for this weekend. Maybe Sunday afternoon we may be surprised by a Seabreeze.

Myself: I will be at Parkdale Yacht Club Sunday at about 1pm to help introduce people to the Windsurfing One Design class before the Nationals over the Australia Day week. Hopefully afterwards if there is a Seabreeze, I'll try to head down to Elwood (Po'okipa) to get some slalom practice for the North One Hour that is on the following Saturday (22/01) at ESC.

Refer to the extract from BOM forecast below for Port Philip Bay.

Wow, Im starting to realise that we get a load more wind down here on the peninsula than you city folk.. makes living in geelong...well... livable

Sunday I will be waterstarting (learning too). that is contually clearing the sail and falling on my ass. I will mix it up a little though.

i plan to stack both ways, windward and down wind.

hey i might even perfect the move called "460mastinface"

It could quite possibly be the most boring session ever had.

Planning to head down to Inverloch Angling Club with Lari tomorrow arvo.

same, might get more of a sail in than last week,

Getting out of Melbourne for a week to Barwon Heads Caravan Park.

You might be able to sail in the caravan park by the way the river is coming up..!

Took some learners to Connaware today, large stinking 10m weed/algae mat to walk through to get to the water.
Water OK beyond that.

Maybe with the river flooding and the strong SW wind predicted it might dump the crap up the bank, when the river goes down the lake beach might be clear.
