The latest BOM forecast says 10-20 knot sea breeze for gulf waters Saturday - maybe one of the locals can predict the chance of a decent sea breeze with the prevailing NEasterly?
My local BOM contact says "the models are diverging" which means "wait until tomorrow and we might know more" or is that "we just make it all up"?

Well done to you Easto. Great weekend and very well run despite the tough conditions. Keeping everyone on track and motivated to get out for a kite and organising the event was a job well done.
Good effort mate and thanks.

Yep big thanks the Easto, Tony, AB and the crew for running an awesome day, and the non-local crew for doing the drive over.
Easto's enthusiasm really made the day and I'm kicking myself for not being ready when that unforecasted front came through.
Thanks again guys and hope to see another event next year!

Thanks for driving up from Lincoln and getting out there yourself...
I believe your photos are worthy for kitemags,keep up the good work.
After 5 days of 40 degrees in whyalla im pretty keen to sit back and chill in Lincoln for a day or two then off to Ceduna....sick of driving but hey gotta go where the work is.
Thanks again to all crew for support!
