looks like its sticking around dead east instead of south east. is ricketts still ok? if not where is good to sail?

Yeah steve, you were ankle deep on the reef :-)

Looks like today might not happen, its nearly 4 and its only 15knots

If you boys are sailing tonight let me know! It is blowing its tits off down my way, but I will drive up and sail with you guys!

I got home late but went out at Parkdale for about 45 mins at 8 pm. Slightly offshore at Parkdale, and the frequent gusts were intense - 25+. OK sailing but very bumpy ride with very short wave period. Painful going out but good on the way in, and reasonable gybing inshore. It's a good spot for solo sailing in a ESE should something break - you would soon wash up at Ricketts or Mentone.

Looks like (from what I have heard and once experienced) Flinders should be good on Sunday, with an E to SE wind to 30 knots in the arvo. I have no idea if the waves will be up but if so that will be cross to cross-offshore.

hmmmm i think sunday will probably be rubbish with no ground swell. just as well seeing my wave board is in tassie!
