It's now more traditional than Poms getting sunburnt in 16c, Aussies whinging about losing the Ashes and Kiwi's whinging about the cost of a flight to Auckland, but its back on - the Inverloch Windsurfing Club's internationally renowned trip to visit our brothers at the 'Point' is confirmed. Stick Sunday 23rd May in your diaries - weather dependent.
Last year's jaunt saw Red and his crew turn the wind up throughout the day. Flat water, long runs and a view to die for - the World Heritage listed Alcoa Steel Works. Forget Maui, it doesn't get much better than this. Check out Drift's flick from last year - sure to whet the appetite of sailors of all abilities:http://www.driftmedia.com.au/iwc/Video.html
For speed junkies, Old Salty and Red will devise some type of speed competition to add some spice to the day - but conditions are perfect for those who just want to putt about too.
Coffee/rigging location to follow
Had a great time last year. I think I may be able to make if things stay on track as they are 
Well thanks croweman dude for letting us know.. i checked the speed track out over the easter weekend, and it looks unreal, there was no wind, so i was not able to windsurf tho the day i went..i should be able to come along and i will bring some buddys with me as well..
I just checked out the Inverloch windsurf clubs web site and i noticed, they now have there own windsurf counclior section, called crowie cares, cool. I did not know you were a councilor crowie dude??? that's handy to know and sounds like you are giving out great advise dude..it's all good stuff
). Just wait till you get married - it gets much, much worse than this! See you at the Point on your trusty JP and don't forget the ramp.

Looking a little better. Is the trip still on at this stage?
Yep trip is still on. Waiting for forecast on Friday then we will confirm or deny what is happening. Location may change according to wind direction.
I hear that there will be a bit of new equipment on display by the Inverloch boys
Jerry,
Point Henry does work on a NE. You would sail directly of the point but in that direction there are better spots that MAY give stronger/cleaner winds..
IT IS ON
The forecast has not been looking good all weekend however we are seeing an improvement. The forecast is 10 - 15 kts NE in the A.M. with it freshening to 15 - 20 kts in the afternoon. We are changing the launch site to SWAN BAY RD SWAN BAY. At the east end of this Road is a Jetty(Crowie watch out). We will set up near there around 10 - 10.30 a.m. Breakfast/coffee for those interested 9.30 at Mc Donalds 150 Bellarine Hwy Newcomb.
Recommended to wear booties. No food facilities close to hand so bring food and drinks and there will be a couple of portable BBQ's available.
YAAHOO
besides the jetty, there are some mooring buoys - they make you stop real quick when your fin catches a line 
I hope you are bring your Vegan Muffins Pedro - They are stuff legends are made from
I'm thinking I'd better make a double batch! I'll have to leave out the special Pit crew speed ingredient though!
I would just like to thank the IWC for making the long trip down even though the forecast was rubbish.
It was great to be able to catch up with everyone. Its just a shame that there wasnt any real wind to speak of. At least we all managed to get out.
