No wind up here, so it is good to at least see someone sailing. That water looks soooooooooo flat on the inside!

Thanks for the piccies Eckas

I won't be sailing (work) but if the wind is up there are sure to be some local miscreants there!

Yes, if you want to access the smooth water you need a weed fin ideally less than 30 cm in draft. If you want to access the glassy water, bring a delta fin of less than 20 cm draft. If just running a standard rake weedy, do a few scouting runs first to check for floating weed clumps - there were quite a few last weekend.

if your coming from QLD ill loan you a weedy, it would be a shame to come all that way without sailing the shallows at illawarra
