It'll be ok...as long as you don't stop the car!

With the forecast being a SW, I am looking at Lake Connewarre

Hey lads - tomorrow morning on the river?

Sorry but am working tomorrow

Pete,

Some work commitments are putting a large dent on available time but were endeavouring to get at least some day trips to the pit..

Really glad it is windy Sat. I really don't give a hoot about the football. No better place than the bay to get away from it.

Hmm maybe Mt. Martha or safety beach if it is more westerly when the change comes in in the afternoon.

Yeah I think I will go for a drive to safety beach in a min, but it doesn't look very inspiring at the mo' All round the bay its showing < 21 knots right this minute.

I actually ended up just going off Mornington about 2:30pm because I was unsure when it would swing SW and pick up and Mornington is good in a westerly. When the change did come through it was bloody awesome. Unfortunately the rope inside my harnessline broke so I had my fight my way back to shore to replace them.

I was a overpowered on my 5.3 but couldn't be bothered changing with less than an hour sailing left. New accomplishment for me, I pulled off an unintentional but incomplete backwards loop, feet came out on the downwards phase and I was left kicking in the air watching the rig fall on top of me. Bloody fun stuff! Sure beat watching the grand final.

Got a nice run at 5pm at Mt. Martha after a family lunch. A consistant 30-35knots gusting up to 40 and some really nice ramps for the bay. Unfortunately was noone there. Did you guys get out and where did you go?

we were 4 brave guys at ricketts, solid ramps also down there great fun even if the weather was crap

Er, if it's blowing over 25kts, how can you ever call it crap weather? Unless of course the sleet is blowing so hard it makes your corneas bleed.

Yesterday late arvo at Safety Beach was pretty good, quite variable and gusty still but ramping up well. Nice cross-on.

Damn Sunday family lunches- some people just don't get it.

I call it crap because it was bloody cold & pissing down ; but the session was great !
