Yep, a bit dangerous sailing solo on Thursday but at least the tide was coming in.
I felt safer sailing on Friday with pork chop, until he decided to gybe around the NU2

I was surprised the sailing was soooo good, the gables picks up a lot of southerly wind and you can sail an nice soft angle across the swell lines, very nice...

Is it swine? I'd get that checked, a bloke of your age doesn't want swine flue

I dunno, you could get a week off on quarantine and all of a sudden feel better and have several days on the water!!

hi dafunk, if you sailed the bay a while back i would know you . maybe we catch up when the north wind arrives in sept (hope). lee and pete still sail off pt.vernon if wind is 25kn or so s/se but no else usually there.
beware if sailing pt.vernon during runout tide if you have gear failure or wind drops out it is not a nice swim .
in se wind launching from aquarium can be good but again during out tide on big tides the current is fast and gear failure if your over near round or woody island you will need rescue probably. still it can be a lot of fun there.
sth harbour still good if the wind is up but a lot of the developement at harbour has caused the wind to be a bit more up and down. (even though it is all downwind from the harb).
we have had great days at gatakers and along the esplanade on low tide the last couple of years .

hi its ron .ived sailed with you and lee before [ i checked your profile] . anyway at the gold coast now and dont come up much . miss those big gat days . cheers
