Southeasterly, hmmm....Mentone Beach? Anyone know what that's like?

...and plenty of incentive not to stuff up your gybes. Mentone Beach water quality is rated as "Poor: Water quality is not recommended for swimming" for tomorrow.

EPA Vic alert:
With heavy rain forecast across Port Phillip Bay, a stormwater alert has been issued. EPA Victoria advises people not to swim near stormwater drains, rivers, streams and other outlets into the Bay during and for at least 48 hours after rainfall.


I must be naive...How is it acceptable to use the Bay as a wastewater and sewage outlet??? Storm water capture, anyone? First World sewage treatment, anyone?

Sheesh, I must be getting middle-aged!

kind of weird to have an 'all beach' alert given the forecast is:

Cloudy. Scattered showers. Isolated thunderstorms ... 3-8mm rain

a few of us thinking about a trip to PI, Woolamai (small swell today) and a SE cross shore wind.

Well so much for a SE. We had nearly direct onshore winds at Bonno. A great freeware sail day for about 4hrs out the back in the swells.
