Those keen to try a down-winder should come along this w/e for a St Kilda to Sandy run.. It takes and 1 1/2 hrs.. Less than 50 minutes if you're good..

But remember it's not a race.. We re-group opp Elwood and stop at Green Point along the way.. 9.30 -10am meet at Sandy both days for a 10.30 start at St Kilda.

Looks like a fair amount of east in Saturday's wind direction. Maybe not so ideal for newcomers or people with weak left shoulders. Sunday is looking very nice.

BOM are still saying North wind at 20-30 for both days.. Let's hope that's what it is..

This is BOM's Saturday chart at this stage...

Okay so the plan is to meet at Sandringham at the cafe between 9.30 and 10 then head to StKilda for a 10.30 start. We don't have Jonathan and his trailer tomorrow so back to the old fashioned car swap.

We might do something different on Sunday - maybe start at Ricketts.

I'll come on the condition that there is no obligatory photo of my board lined up on the beach, posted on seabreeze.com.au.

I have a secret fin set up - that Lacey hasn't even dreamed of

If it's early I'm in, but not quite as early as last week, 7.30- 8am start maybe. Elwood to Black Rock

So tomorrow (Sunday) plan is 8.30 sharp at Sandringham or 9am at StKilda.

^^^Where did you get that map from? I can only see the Pt Phillip/Western Port one on the BOM site.

There should be a swell map that goes with the wind map. It would be interesting to see what the swell is doing down there.

Thanks. Got it now. Boohooo. No swell maps. Have fun.

Hock and I hit the water at 7.15 this morning in semi-darkness for an Elwood to Ricketts. Talk about testing the balance skills!

Hey JC, I'll be at Venus Bay Wed/thurs. Rather than a dw, why don't we hook up for a wave at Walkerville.

Also, the morning is looking good for a daybreak DW. Anyone up for a quick Elwood to HMB?
