Very hard for me to change plans, but if it looked good then I could make it. Its a bit far out to make the decision. Tomorrow I'll have more of an idea, Thursdays the day to make the call. Rule one of making windsurfing plans in Tas, never make a call outside of 4 days, 3 days out you can have a pretty good idea.
At the moment Friday looks the best for swell and a late arvo SW change. At this stage BOM is forecasting W to NW winds for Saturday up to 20 knots. Other models have it from the W to SW. See what eventuates, fingers crossed.

Nick what is so important you would jepodise an epic at BOL

I will probably be around low head area on friday/saturday, then head over to marrawah for sunday with the current forecast.

Whats wrong with the van Jez?

yeh its certainly looking like the VW's are no where near as reliable as the toyotas. But I suppose 'we' knew that already

Rough idle, was like it before the turbo went turbo all good now but just need to get the rough idle sorted. Looks like a seized number 4 injector hopefully fixed by Sat arvo(fingers crossed)

Yer wouldn't buy one again, after this experience. Might get a hiace

Is it worth heading over tomorrow?

I'll see you about 1pm Friday at Greens, if you head to BOL before I see you see me send me a text.....I'm actually sh.tting myself, forecast for Sunday morning looks bloody epic 7-8m swell SW wind..............sh.te

7 - 8 metre swells!!!!! I'm slowly piking it, I'm not ready to die yet Looking very westerly, I thought BOL was only good in S - SW Might be a stay home and sail Sunday GPS sail for me. Haven't got my numbers up for August yet and it's looking pretty good westerly stuff down here Sunday.

So what is the best direction for BOL
I don't want to drive all the way up there and be so petrified that I only do 2 or 3 runs because of the huge swell.
Lot of distance & money wasted for sitting on my backside being a piker.
