ok, i'm putting this one out to everyone.
basically redcliffe beaches were still closed yesterday and large numbers of dead fish are being washed up including stone fish.... areas north of brisbane are in the problem zones including bribie, caloundra etc with debry and toxins.
so the closest option is see if VP which has been visited numerous times.
should we postpone another week or hit up VP?
Make a weekend of it at Cootharaba. No flood problems there.
Have the Windwanderers meet on Saturday and stay for the Bayside clubs races on Sunday.
Wilba,
Surely neil st would be fine........... Can anyone confirm what the water is like around caloundra???
Speak in the morning...
Yes, I've had this on my mind. Been checking out Redcliffe the last few days. It's been pretty windy but today was the first day the beach didn't smell bad. Talked to a kiter who said that the water has become salty again so that's a good sign. He did say that there was still a fair bit of debris in the weater though. I had vague ideas of trying a sail tomorrow, but I realy, really don't want to hit a log/cow/wardrobe.
Is VP going to be any cleaner/less dangerous?
i can't confirm for sure about the sunny coast guys other than to say that i don't think it's as bad as redcliffe but from what i understand the mess from the floods is flowing northwards and there has been stuff picked up on the beaches up there.
We have been swimming down at Dicky beach and taking the dog for a walk at Currumundi this week and havent seen any debris or brown water. Just really big swell massive sweeps changing direction, very powerful when you jump on the small kids boogie board and get hurtled towards the beach in only the shorebreak, it is probably a bit calmer by now
will see u there providing it's not raining.
bring your camera gesty. willaus has acuired some new manovaries![]()
10:30 for me to try and get the most of the high tide.
i imagine it will be quite low by mid afternoon
Yeah I second that. Can't ask for any more! Sun, wind, sausages and an awesome turnout. Am totally spent now though! Best feeling in the world :)
thanks everyone for making the effort yesterday!!!
bloody hell there was a lot of people out on the water it so good to see........
i took hundreds of photos... literally, i must remember to use a smaller memory card
, anyways, i had a troll through them last night and i got some nice ones so i'll upload as soon as i've reviewed them all.
