wife just rang, redland bay is going under..... may not get home?
looks like rain might stop here in an hour looking at the rain radar. will try and head down to train after it eases if water has moved off our road.
sailed at 12 ish great wind sore eyes with the rain, three house boats on the rocks oppersite the Grand 61 knts gusts..........professor said 18/20 knts might try the6.2m.
10 OUT OF 10 for those who went out today, Kurt,Gerry,Zoran,Andrew.
BOM is reporting 63 kts gust for GC Seaway. Meanwhile here in Brisbane where I'm writing a committee agenda (oh joy) there's just a gentle breeze.
Crazy weather.
i've had some windy days at wello, but that was by far the windiest i've ever sailed got-smashed in. took me 5 minutes just to get from the joggingpath to the water's edge with my gear
the trees have multiplied in the park, if you didn't know better you'd swear the council had just gone around and planted small shrubs everywhere and anywhere
hoping for a gentle 40 knots for tomorrow ![]()
Heaps overpowered on a 4.4 but the biggest problem was to keep the board in the water. ![]()
A 60liter glass board and a 2.5meter sail would have been nice.
I am glad i gave it a go.
Well i have been planning for this for a long time since that windwanderers meet like 2 years ago. I have my 76L and 3m and 4m ready to go all i gotta do is figure out how to get down there . But man i am getting pumped for this weekend![]()

It was a very solid 50 at Wello for a short while around 11.30 and I was glad I had come off the water. I was having enough trouble holding it together in the gusts on the 5.4.
Brad and Simon were out on speed boards and slalom gear, a 6.0 and a 5.1 respectively. I did see Brad fairly out of control in a serious bit of tail walking at one point but generally they were well locked in and flying along. The highlight was Simons back loop, pretty brave/nuts on a speed board and fully cambered sail. Looked good though.
Looks like we are in for some more fun over the next few days. The hole in my hand isn't going to help much, shows how little sailing has been happening lately.
