Heading down to manly while the winds up and the tides high
; have to leave early; 2ish
Nice im just in sheldon how far is it to manly? the breeze has picked up through here so i might go fairly soon.
Hi AUS 0,
Thought I'd pitch in since I can't get out, someone may as well get a run.
Sheldon to Manly - trafalga st (where you can park)

Leaving at Sheldon Wello would be closer and generally better wind there in a SE as well. Its the opposite in a NE wind though.
goldies been having some great wind here again this morning but its pretty much just died now
i would have though sheldon is closest to victoria point. probably only 15-20min drive. depends where in sheldon.
anyways, went out this morning. probably the poorest sail choice in history. looked windy, rigged the 5.3 only to find not really that powerfull. should have taken the 5.8 and maybe even the 6.4m
Moments of madness at Currumbin, followed by multiple triathlon experiences.
Oh well, at least I didn't need to be rescued by the clubbies.
Agonising over whether to go to CQ for some serious wind tomorrow.
Good reporting in on the different locations dudes, but the question is where did AUSO end up
Was good at Manly earlier on 5.4 and wave (wishful thinking) thank god for the 100 ltr FSW.
Manly was fantastic ! 6m and 100 L 12 till 2. Then 7m and slalom board from 230 to 430.(including a 20 minute squall where a 5m would have been the go.
seems to be better earlier so might go earlier tomorrow. 1030ish ???
hey Jo you must have the hang of that new gear ! Jibes looking very smooth !
haha well i apologise for the no show JoLee but i was super pumped I got my slalom rig and board and a 6.5m ready to go then on the way i got a call from my commanding officer and had to go sort out paperwork so missed out on the fun so its take 2 for tomorrow.
