Forecast hard to call

Race committee has made the call to race from manly at 2.oo pm. If by chance the wind is still from north we will relocate to Wynnum .

A strong wind warning has been issued so throw in your bump and jump gear in case we decide that it is not suitable to race.

See you there

What's the parking like at manly, I noticed they have markets on sundays.

BOM is predicting a strong NE early before the southerly change. Is it worh calling an early start?

Could have been affected by Day Light Savings Richie?

Hi all

We are going to race from Wynnum today we want to start by 1pm so get down early

Regards simon

Thanks Bayside for another great day on the water. Pity about the start boat but them's the breaks. Good on you Mike for having the canastas to get the course set, reminded me of the days when we used to use the little WQ tinnie.

Great sausages from the big grub also. Cheers Jenzy.

Very unpredictable these southerly changes. Now looks like arriving around 5 oclockish.???? Re marine weather services.

Turned out it came through at about quarter to five...

Great day! well done to all for organising. The beach start actually worked ok.

Looks nice and flat for a little way. Can you sail the other side of the wall in a southerly or is it too shallow?

Simon,

I was just trying to remember where you had mentioned getting some long board racing going..

I think in a Bayside email you said something about looking to start this on Saturday afternoons in October. Did you get any interest...? I am keen to join in if this gets going.

cheers,
Alec.

Mate I am super keen but my board isn't here yet, I know its a bit selfish but I wont run races till I can join in have a conatiner of starboards due on 16th of october so not long now

took some photos when i stopped for a bit of a rest. someone tell me if they have figured out how to stop seabreeze from squishing the photo sizes down to tiny....

traffic jam at the bottom mark



and yeah i only had a 1gb card, the 16 was in the gopro so ran outta space

Great shots Swoosh, love the traffic jam around the mark, really captures the confusion at jibe time.

Ben,

the fact that you have photographic evidence that I started last in every race only makes it more painful. I had almost wiped it from my memory.

I think I was daydreaming.

Great shots!! you are in the wrong proffession!

Nice Pics thanks Swoosh. It was a great day. Nice BBQ after too.
