Carl the water level is coming up fairly quickly and should be full by the longweekend. you won't need a weedy, the lake has not been opened to the sea this winter, bool lagoon 100k's up is full and flowing down drain M into lake george so all fresh water filling it up, the drain to the sea is called the outlet for a reason it was origanlly there to let the water out, last time bool overflowed (early 2000's)the lake was at bursting and covered the road well before the 5 mile drift, this time they tryed to divert this water down a new 7 millin dollar drain to the top of the coorong but ha ha it didn't work. you guys camping will you need some wood ?.
i am on night shift for the event still trying to get someone to work for me but nobody seems to want to do nights for me.

Im booked into the spit......might have to get there early to get a good spot , Hey jimbob, can the kids ride there motos around the spit area, or do the local law enforcement frown upon this....? 5 th time down to beachport in the last year and hopefully i get a sail this time (i'll take the SUP just in case though).

No wind afternoon! I sailed 180km that day

I think we are looking at heading down that way for the Long Weekend....

Is the spit the best area to camp or is the sailing from 3 and 5 mile drift just as good?

I assume it is a must to bring your own wood?

jamdfinger the land from the gate and out the spit is private owned they let us sailand camp there because they are good blokes, you will need your own wood as you can not be cutting down the trees there, last year I supplied a trailer of wood i will see what I can do this time, the sailing is just as good of the 5mile I still sailout of there a lot its just no good with west in the wind where as the spit is out the middle of both lakes so has all wind directions covered., I will take some photo's a couple weeks before and post here so you all can see the water level and conditions, we are having heaps of rain here so water won't be a problem.
looks like i'm stuck on nights all weekend can't get anyone to do my shifts as the afl grandfinal is on as well, still will be out sailing in the arvos just won't be drinking a bundy around the fire after.
Divaldo we will have to catch up after maui trip, you would have worn out the sup here the last couple weeks been perfect for supping with very clean waves and light offshore.

I know I say it every year... but this year I'm gunna be there!!! ( I hope)

the water is now right up so nowhere for the kids to hoon around unless they go up to the big dunes, but little wheels and sand don't go too well. will take a couple pics soon.

Sat is looking good Jimbo, might have to come across for a bit of flat water bliss

Jimbob you have huge Northerly this Saturday then a huge SW Tuesday for Lake George. I might consider a drive up Monday for the Tuesday if forecast holds!

Later:-)

ps - Going tomorrow and staying overnight at Boggy Lake as I'm planning to do a major distance day either Friday and or Sat as the forecast N to NE is a perfect direction.

Come on Jamie, where's these photos?

I will take some tommorrow dave,

PJ I have sent you a pm with my number, am on 10 days off from tommorrow can sail all week but looks like I might be up there next weekend. room in the van way more comfy than a swag.
have you used your missile yet.

wow, she's come up abit, how easy is it to drive on the dune road(2 wheel drive)? and have the weed bombies gone?

thanks for the Photos Guys, looks like you had an awsome day, this is what it looked like last time I was there with the family a couple of months ago on the spit for a couple of days.....

dave the sail was my 5.8 is the same year and colour as the trusty 5.0 I bought of you. if it was 5.0 wind would have been on the missile for sure.
be good to catch up on the long weekend but i'm on night shift so wil only be around sailing in the afternoons.
