Thursday & Friday look good as well

Dorans will be cranking tomorrow but I'm heading for sandpits and hit the waves

I'm going to hit Dorans about 3pm

Anyone get a sail in this arvo/tonight? I was saving myself for 4 days (arvo's) straight sailing this week (fingers crossed it lives up to the forecast)

Henty looks a little tempting, but will probably try to sail at Doran's Wed afternoon!

Be good to put some runs on the board early in the month again. We've got Jan and Feb at the moment!!

I'll sail tomorrow arvo too supposed to be 17 C. Bit too chilly this arvo for this whimp.

What a day!!!!!
Can't get better than that Jez, when all the other so called "super pro speed sailors" stayed indoors cos the temp got down to below 20 degrees , there we were out there at the inargral King Of Dorans Speed event just ripping it up.
We can hold our heads high and should be proud we are leading the Tassie Speed Seekers for March by a country mile
Jez is yet to post but I know he cranked some blistering runs, so watched out for his results.

ant, we will all expect that again when its snowing in the mid of winter

Haha yes we were the stupid dedicated ones today you can cert tell that winter is around the corner with the lack of people around. But a good wettie and all is good

Sorry I had a typo it should have said 'you can cert tell that winter is around the corner, cause Buzzy is at home in his jim-james and slippers in front of the heater sipping on a hot choclate, while Ant and I a slogging it out in 12 degrees to get on the board the for month.'

Good start to the month team!!!

A great start to March for Tassie thanks to the talents of Team Perkins and 'those southerners'. Well done guys

No worries perks, I'm used to the cold, I sailed last year mid winter in Greenland

Ohhh wish we had frozen lakes here.
