Yep Marion is looking good and high tide is in the arvo. I committed myself to a bbq at 1pm Sun and 5 mins later checked the forecast. Arrggg I hate that.

OK, I'll take up the challenge!

How about a six pack for the best 5x10 (or a 4 pack of Wild Turkey if it's Kaleb)!!

I'll shout this one!!

For anyone who hasn't sailed at Marion and is a bit daunted, don't be.
Marion lagoon is totally enclosed similar to Cremorne lagoon but much bigger. It is pretty shallow so is great for beginners and intermediate sailors, pretty much you can't go wrong if you're with other sailors.

To get there turn left off the hwy at Copping follow the road into Marion Bay, turn hard right where the road hits the water. 1.7 km past the bend there's a track just before the old cemetry, good spot for rigging, right next to the water.

Always great to try new spots

PS for 5x10 prize to be won, needs to be over 30 knots (the 5x10 that is) - so we don't have to bother if it turns into a drifter!!

Bugger I was going for most improved 5x10 oh well :(

C yas all there anyway should be good :)

If it's blowing at Goats with perfect swell i'll be there otherwise it's Marion

Dunno know about Dave but I'm gonna try for 12 at Marion

I reckon I'll try to get there around 1PM, should be strengthening all day and high tide is at 2PM. The low tides aren't very low at all, so there should be plenty of water all day.

I'm headed across to Marion too, try to get there for lunchtime -- not that I'll contribute to the team score :-)

How about a snapped unifibre mast, Jeremy?

Jez I think you got the Red Barron's attention.
Hope you can finish him off in the gun fight.....

Looks like it will be fun 5 x 10 .........

What great Sunday arvo.

I didn't count how many we're out but it was a few.
I personally sailed until I just couldn't anymore.

I think we may see some pb's what a great session and nick nailing his gybes( both of them):)

Can't wait to see Anthony's photos. Glad I've finally joined. How do I see everyone's speeds from the day?

I think this is what you are after!?

Cheers.

Just looked at the KA72 overlays and hadn't realised you can see where everyone's top speeds, etc are from a session. Russ, noticed your 2-sec and all of your 5x10's are on port tack, whereas mine for example are a mix of port and starboard tack, with peak 2-sec on Starboard!

Who's feeling a tad tired & sore today?

I think I did fire him up Russ and he finished us off, but as we went down you got his sidekick Kaleb
