on my way up now

we'll b there around 1:30 for a bit of a sail

Thanks for that awesome day WW & Gestalt.
Looking forward to seeing some photos up.
Hopefully catch up with some of you again in my last couple of weeks.

^ yeah for sure will be back there. everyone liked it. it's funny i don't remember it being that good. where'd ya go for dinner mate? a secret spot?

hi climber, hope the pooch is all good. sounds like a toad run. my dog loves the toads. have had a few mad dashes to the vets.

great day great car ralley great sail

and no real kiters

a couple of photos from today. (loads more to follow)

looks like a top spot !!!

(looks like we might get a bit of "cranium cam" from H.C. too !)

yeah hairy had a gopro on. he was pulling some very big and vertical forwards so i am sure it will be fantastic.


there's always next time ken. i'll be going back at some point.

basically we started off at 2nd ave which really looked like it has the goods to me. the wind however had too much west in it so was a little light at the shore. in a strong southerly it would be cross off sailing there. will suit SSE-SE best.

we headed down to the lookout which gets the S-SSW winds cleanly. checked out skirmish point along the way also but i prefer the lookout as the carpark overlooks the beach.

while there i was watching the bank out from the surf club to see if it had anyhting going on. it was almost high tide and there were some nice rollers coming through. i'll be checking that out again. so the question as to the banks has been answered. yes they are as per both google and nearmap images above.

here is a picture of the big bank on the google earth image at high tide.



the thing to note is that bribie gets it's biggest swell in summer. back when i used to sail there there was no real bank so it was mainly just shore break. things have changed.

Thanks Gestalt and Peter for bringing all the new toys.

Was good to sail there again has been a while, last time was in 1999 at the formula 42 national titles and our race up to Caloundra and back. Pubs changed a bit

Thanks Justin for organizing the day! Great to catch up with some old (must be at least over 20 years since we last sailed with lungs), and new friends! Nice location, clear water, no booties, and a little swell to play on!

Hi Justin great pics can't wait to see some more am also keen to try again especially with more wind and swell. is the summer swell from northerlies would be good to try both directions at sometime.
you mentioned something about tides etc, whats good whats not
ever thought about a webber Q or something similar for places with no bbq's
great day allround especially the colour and taste of the water, looks and tastes like crap off reddy(probably is)


Hi Jo and Rob it doesn't seem like 20 years although the colour of Robs hair probably confirms it, we will definitely have to get on the water again before another 20 years dissappears.really good to see you again you haven't even changed and i'm already jealous of your planned trip to maui

About 2.5 k out lungs not too far
