Not too bad at Rye before 11am. 2 hours of fairly consistent wind. Seemed to be picking up again as we left at around 12.

Hotham carveboarding for a few weeks. Will it improve my sailboarding?
Probably need to change to a Skwal for a proper balance workout.

I had great number of hours on my course racing kit at Bonno. A nice sunny day fanging around. Let's hope next Sunday is the same for the WV course racing clinic.

Had a great sail on the new Cheeky monkey at GP until the wind totally crapped out leaving me swimming nearly 2 kms off shore. Thany you very very much to the Taser sailors from Sandy who towed me in, saved me a super long, cold swim!!!!
The board was sweet as!!!!!!!!!

First time at Rye on Saturday - have to say I love it down there. It's going to be my northerly place from now on :P

Renewed my faith in my short board purchase (Tabou 85) - had so much fun on it - can't wait for another opportunity to give it a crack. Not going to sell it now :D

It's a great place but I've been skunked as much as I've had good sessions down there so it's always a bit of a gamble I think. Get in VERY early seems to be the general advice.
It really started to pick up Sat. morning and I thought for a while it wasn't going to back off, but then the usual happened and it was gone by 11am. Had some nice long runs down to tootgarook. Good to see so many out.

Yeah when it blows it's a great location and definately more of a gamble for you folks travelling from the city.

To lower the gamble you want a really cold day, and a forecast starting at 30knots. With those factors it will likely get more wind than the Frankston/Mt. Martha zone.

I think I left before you emjack, but from what I could see it didn't really come back up. Thank goodness.
