Hey Jez,
Not sure if I am qualified to answer this question but did sail Stanley in similar direction and strength last Saturday.
The direction is quite square but great for distance or hour etc. Still great fun. what used to be the gold NE run is now very shallow at around 30cm or less.... for now anyway.

On Saturday I done some of my distance at high tide. The whole bay is sail able prob 1 hour or so either side of high with some shallow sections but no issue. There is enough chop around to have some fun with but nothing much really with that amount of wind.
I am staying in the Tamar this weekend...

Cool, thanks for the advice guys!

Yer I didnt think it would be epic with ENE these days, with the new channels direction. Still sounds like it would be a worthy/fun trip for some flat water sailing in my favourite place in TAS

Sounds good Izaak, keep me posted

I sailed in the bay on Sat and Sunday. The wind was more easterly and stronger on Sunday. I had some great runs across from the town to the inlet in the waves.

There were two guys out in the channel on Sunday around high tide getting some pretty long runs in both directions.

Would love to see a shoot-out between the Southern Gunfighters and Port Sorell's Top Guns fresh from LG. Wind direction looks good for Saturday arvo.
Bring it on!

Yeh it would be great to see the Russ, Steve, Jez and Dave the southern gunfighters battle it out with the seasoned up to speed LG/Portsy boys.
Maybe the gunfighters might bring out their Big Canons to blow the game apart. It could be 3 top results from each catergory from North and South averaged out for a North South Gun fight!!!!! Might just be 2 sec, 5x10 and Alpha.

I'm up for that, that's if you want to make it a comp kaleb so if you southerners come up.. Say four of youse (or how ever many) That's how many we will need to work out the averages for the 3 categories.

I was just looking forward to a casual cruisey sail haha

Not sure if I'll make it, but a bit of friendly competition would be good fun.
Red versus Blue
North Versus South
Everyone versus Izaak

Looks like it may only be me from down south, will have to bring all the guns myself




Forecast isnt looking as good now, so will decide myself tonight

Heading to Stanley Saturday with a fair crew.

Hey Cookie i'll see you tomorrow around 11.30am Early start for me
