You da man Mark - thanks for going to the trouble. Happy to come down and help clear anything else if required.

Sounds like my Subaru Outback would get down there ok?

Looking fwd to a run there - so sick of the super gusty conditions of queens due to those bloody mountains being so close - wind looks like it should be heaps cleaner here as there doesnt look to be many close mountains to the S or SW.

I am in qld for the following two weekends mate so you wont see me around for a bit - hope you get a good run there and have a lot of positives to post.

Looks shallow and weedy! if not too shallow, we might be able to get some uplift on the Marauder speed PBs! In fact, on the google earth shot there looks to be a short mudbank speed run right near where the blue Watson Taylor Lake text is - ripe for a short bearaway run in flat water in a SW - what is the scale of the map can you remember? looks like it could be at least 100m long perhaps?

YEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the road in on private land or open to the public?

Thanks again Mark - regards, Adam

Good work Mark! Looks like a fun place to sail, thanks for clearing out the car scratchers. I'm keen to head down for a run with ya next sthly if ya keen? I'll pm you my mob number. Will be intersting to see how deep it is, or any rocks, or other issues there are, but it certainly looks the goods from the pics!

Hey, is the turn off easy to see? And is it before or after that christian centre?


Ps- Cheers for the dvd mate, watched it 3 times, heaps of helpful info on there.

Phil this is the turn off to the Left travelling South!

Good one Mark, looks easy to find.

Do you think it would be a good place in a nor-ester? I ask as Bob's Creek is a pain (for me anyway) in a nor-easter with that huge hill behind it.

Freakin' awesome work Mark. Thank you so much! Can't wait to give it a crack!

Might be trying it's nor-east potential this weekend by the looks of it Though, I'm sure Bom will change the forecast 3 times between now and then...

Yes it will be interesting to see the graphs change over the week.

Looking at the skid mark on the road, I take it someone was in a hurry to get some sailing in

Reminds me of leaving the Kyeemagh car park.

Thanks Team for the kind words!

Who ever sails there first do some slow runs to see how deep it is before hooking into some fast runs. It looks shallow so take it easy at first. Will try and sail there on the weekend. Steve sailed there over 6 years ago with out a weed fin.

Nicole is your car a 4x4 ?

Phil its a fair way before the Christian Centre. Its a 110 Km speed limit, so slow down a bit or you will miss the turn off!

You should be ok Nic! I had no problems at all in 4x4 Hi-Range,

dammit, I will be away and will miss this wind and the maiden sail of WT Lake! Please post a full debrief guys - looking fwd to hearing how it is

Adam,Nic & Phil,

On the weekend if its a Westerly would be better to sail at Queens than Watos. Queens Lake in a Westerly is really good!
I would go to Watos in a Southerly or SSW.

Hi Phil,
I'm going to have a crack at Watsons tomorrow (Sunday)
Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,

They're talking a nice s-wester for Sunday (assuming it happens...), so I'll aim for either Queens or Watson's mid morning on Sunday then. Would prefer Watsons, keen as to see what wind gets in there. See how the weather pans out I guess. Either way, if there's wind I'll be sailing! But I've got tomorrow, and Saturday to wear my arms out yet Gotta love working nights

Cheers.
