This would be close. Any better for our normal SW seabreeze in summer?

Did it last weekend in less than ideal conditions and it was a hoot

Hope there is a division for those over 45 and 100kg

We need a head start on the young whipper snappers

Did it last night and wil be doing again tonight except I have to stop at mandurah so I can ge a lift home. It's fast even in marginal conditions, pretty lonely out there though, was great to have hilly and tim down on the weekend, definitely the best angle of coast line in the sea breeze I reckon!
It's about time more of u city slickers drove down for a paddle

It was looked at about 3yrs ago.
With the local breeze direction you will be coming in about 15km north at Binningup from what I recall.

That run looks more like a wsw run?
Wouldnt it be better to start from Busso?

There's a paddler who has just refitted a very nice cray boat you know how big the back deck is on those things .and who is having some thoughts on also doing a team Molokai This would be a great test run I will put my 10 bucks in for fuel

That sounds perfect stimo. Surely we could all chip in and make it worth his while. I wouldn't mind starting from busso if it was a better run. It's 50 something kms, I'm sure not being in the open ocean for the first couple wouldn't matter to much.

Damn I wish I still had my old boat Pamala II, it would have been perfect for that sort of thing, 38' and the majority of it deck space.



I reckon the wind angle would be a bit wrong most of the time from Cape Naturaliste and like others have said Busselton or at least Quindalup would be a better option, 50K's is a long time to be paddling mainly on one side.

It is a long cruise from Perth for a support boat though, I reckon a few runs from Rotto would be great and be a whole lot easier to organise

Actually if you were to leave from Busselton or even a touch further East near the Marina or Wonnerup Estuary you might not get quite as good swell (particularly the first section) but it would still be a good run with a decent breeze.
You would be closer to shore so would get by with less or no support.
