i'm good,

what do we do if it is windy?

i gotta get a windwanderers meet in in may.

That's what I was going to say, have a sail first and then eat later. Have the BBQ at the beach if it is windy or if the forecast is really bad then just go straight to Shaun's place

We need to get a score on the board this month, hows everyone looking for the weekend? Hows the ankle going Kellie, this cold weather is playing up all my broken bones.

i've put out an emergency call via pete to yancy. asked if he wants to join in with the team. he may have some tracks from the weekend.

Keep this spot in mind for a westerly, best thing is that it is superflat, just make sure you know where the sand bars are, about a 600 metre run and very broad, I want to give this a good go next time we get a solid westerly

Not really muddy, not like VP, more like dark sand. Gotta watch the western end as it runs into knee deep water, the eastern end is deep as though.

Was it Gusty there haggar
what about tides ect, launch spot

- The 1st time I sailed there it was very gusty, on Sunday it was longer periods of wind and lulls in between then it dropped off around 4 :00/4:30. I got there late so may have missed the best wind. I dont think it would be any gustier then other areas in a SW.
- tide is not bad, there is'nt a lot of water in this part of the inlet
- I parked in Haysmouth parade, if you walk straight to the water its not too far to launch, but then you need to tack/beat upwind a bit

Its not a great GPS spot in that the runs are'nt long compared to other places, the most western tracks in the picture is as far as you can go then you run out of water, but its broad from this spot going back east so when you are going fast you are going into deep water, the runs are probably as effectively long as GB in a NE, although at GB you can get a run up before you hit the flat stuff. The best part is that its flat, broad and close to where I live

Fitz the ankle is still really sore. Boot has been off for 3 days and have started physio. Latest CT shows osteoporosis.

Not sure yet how much longer till I will be back on the water, loads of muscle wastage in my leg, so need to build this up first.

i hope that it's a quick recovery kellie, i know how much the sport is in your blood.

on the lighter side, it seems you're on the right team.

ot bongaree on an incoming tide

Rubbish at GB 8-10 knots, maybe next week.

I might give GB a go on Friday, ese predicted.

Anyone going to GB Sunday? May be only chance to get some decent times for June!

Good idea Fitz.

I thought the golden rule was never to book events on weekends between the hours of 12pm-4pm? Or does that apply to summer only?

OK, dont mention the wind now until the night b4
