I find I jinx things if I say where I am going, even if on the same day.
Superstition is bad luck.

I've pretty much hung up my boots until September/next season. Shoulder needs rest.

's wot I wus thinking.
Had also mentally hung up until spring, but work is total crap this week, so I have time on my hands, so I'm sniffing the air.
Good direction on offer for Kirra and Currumbin. Nice clear water. All we need is a bit of sunshine and can't go wrong.

So, hypothetically speaking, if there were to be wind tomorrow, from the hypothetically indicated direction, where would the hypothetical sailors be headed tomorrow ?
I would hypothetically be going to Kirra or Currumbin.

lets think about this. it's winter and a NE'r is forecast......

and to take it a bit further, there isn't any lows in site just more stupid highs

and lastly, rain is forecast.

well, o, i doubt it.

If the forecast stands true... minus the rain, I'll be at wello. Prob get there early. But I too am sceptical. Having said that, I've already loaded the car!

Forecast for today is even stronger than last evening, so surely it's on.
The sky is still irrigating freely here at present.

The rain has stopped and the wind is on it's way. Fingers crossed anyway. I'm heading down to wello now. Hopefully the wind arrives when I do. I'll give an update if it's any good

Still raining here, but I'll pack the car and head up the coast and see what I find. Anyone know if you can still park at the Train ?

Just got to wello. Wind is about 2 kts from the west! On a bright note tho, the sun is out, the tide is good and there is a wind shaddow approaching from the NE... or is that a school of fish! Oh well, I think I'll rig up and hope for the best. I'll give another update if the school of fish gets closer

Changed one set of guitar strings. About the most useful thing I can do on a crap day like today. Still raining here, but has eased up a bit. Was really tonking it down before.

To top it off I've just given the car a flat battery! If someone decides to come down to wello for a look could you chuck in the jumper leads! Thanks
