It's starting to look like we might get a strong westerly on Friday. If the forecast holds I'm going to head up Thursday evening to be ready nice and early for Friday.

I'm keen to go somewhere Saturday, looks widier than Friday. Can't get away Friday.

Dave

Keep an eye on it, I could go up with you. I will have to check work first. Are you comming back on Friday?

Cheers Russ

NW winds are usually NNW at Henty and too broad for the run. Really need the wind to be from the WNW (or further around to the SW to sail back the other way). At the moment the weekend is looking too NNW, whereas Friday should be from the W. I'm super keen to try a NM there, so would go even if not that windy as long as it's from the W (ie SW through to WNW). Howeever, the latest forecast doesn't look as good as the previous one. So far I've seen 4 changes in the forecast today, each one was looking better for Friday except the last.

Russ, I've got to come back Friday as am flying to Sydney Saturday morning (so Saturday may end up being the best dayt after all, knowing my luck)!

Friday isn't looking epic, but is still holding pattern with winds from the west, tending SW and then back to the west during the day. The weekend winds have eased a little in comparison. At this stage I reckon I will head up Thursday evening. Hopefully we can get a few there if the system holds.

Friday is now looking almost epic!!

I've taken the day off and am planning to head up Thursday evening, probably leaving Hobart around 4PM. Will then head back from Henty hopefully around 4-5PM Friday.

Hopefully the tide won't make any difference and the swell won't pick up too quickly to roll over the beach and into the run area. Should be OK I reckon. Last time was pretty exceptional with the heavy rain/snow and record ocean swells recorded off the coast.

The worst part of my obsesive compulsive disorder is the fact that I hate to miss out on the fun and I refuse to miss out

Is Henty near Strahn is it possible to get a 2wd in there or is it 4wd only sounds like a cool place

Yes looking really good here Saturday (PS), see how Dave goes Friday and make a decision for a Saturday sail.

I can sense Rusel secretly plotting his rise up the rankings from 30 km away

Is Russ going????

Thats no good! We are taking notes of all the trips you Don't attend

Now I'm really pissed off, after a session at Clifton now got a leg brace with a torn crucative ligament, told to stay off the water for at least 2 weeks, now back to being your personal photographer
Hope you guys get it good at Henty

Whats a leave pass?

Sorry guys, I am having a wisdom tooth taken out today so I am out of action for a few days. Good luck guys. Dont worry Russ, you will get use to it.
