hi haircut,

bout 2 hrs drive, and well worth it!


doodah,

i reckon VP has it over shearwater as there is no boat traffic and the wind is more constant. plus it's got 1m swell down to mirror flat.

Oky doke.. I'll give it a go. The mirror you talk about, is that the bar at low tide about a mile or 2 off shore to the N/NE? If so, how close can you get to the bar b4 you scrape the bottom? Also, how far do you have to drag your gear out at low tide b4 you get enough water to sail in at VP itself?

Yep. Heaps of boat traffic on a winter weekday.

One day I will have more time than work. Wind just not lining up with weekends lately.

More times than not this should read:
