drive to bowen might be worth it.

seems to blow 20-30 knots every day.

cooler waters is a good idea.

i'm taking a 4 day long weekend and heading to yamba.

also i got the replacement case for my gopro, so ready for action. and apple replaced my macbook battery, cause it swelled into a balloon, so in future i'll try and pack gopro + laptop when i go sailing.

so if you see me, and wanna get some footage of yourself trying tricks or even just perfecting gybes just give me a yell and i'm happy to take some footage and you can even check it out after the sail hehe. not hard to pick me out of the crowd, i sail pretty unique kit around these parts anyway.

Yes, got most of my moving done today, and if I don't do something else tomorrow, I'll go barmy. Planning on hitting Currumbin around Sunday lunchtime. Give me a call.
I was going to go today, but I saw teh graph droppiong off, and bailed. Glad I did, cos it died.

yeah, i got close to heading down when it reached 16-18, left it for 30 mins and it died, so didn't bother going either, but I reckon tomorrow looks promising

ballina had a nice NE breeze today looking at the obs

It's coming up as it comes around.
Gesty reckons a NE is stronger when it comes around form a NW, so let's hope he's right.
Bleeding hot or what ?

yeps, i wait 30mins and make a decision

we could meet at currumbin, then decide whether to go further south (pottyville) if nothing materialises?

Very well spotted! Just got back from 4 days of 20knts plus at Hook Island.
Although was on a 30m cat it did have a fully battened mainsail and a pre-bent carbon mast.
Couldn't volcan it though.

Fingers crossed for the "Bin" today!

Evans Head and Ballina are both reading southerly and have been for at least an hour.

Byron is still Nth but not strong.

the train is looking more and more like reality for me if it gets windy. will keep an eye on it

if the average reading reaches 16+ I'll head off

I went to Currumbin, and it was a nice day for the beach, evidenced by the number of people there, and the toal lack of any parks.
Oh well, I eventually parked on an island, and went for a ncie swim.
Maybe Tuesday afternoon at Ballina ??
I've never sailed there, so wouldn't mind a guide dog.
Maybe text me your phone numbers ?

well today made the drive worth it. was well powered on the 5.9 all afternoon in front of whiting beach, was a bit overpowered up the top of the river behind the wall.

might hit the beach for some waves tomorrow, but the swell is pretty miniscule, i've seen bigger waves in backyard pools. and not as windy as the river.
