A warning or a challenge !!

Pity the water will be sh1t quality due to the rain... I'm not a footy fan, so was thinking of heading down to Inverloch for a SE ?

Mentone is alright in a South East.... might be going for a sneaky one after 11 AM on Sunday.

Jez - winds might be okay for your shake down cruise post elbow injury

Sam,

Right across from the intersection of Naples and Beach Road. Rig on the south side of the walkway or never leave your sail rigged and unattended on the north side.

Can park in the carpark, but fees are are payable and the grey ghosts visit at least twice per day.

Thx WindmanV... got there on Sunday... bugger all wind, but enough to keep me occupied as a noob... I parked a bit farther north, small patch of grass above a flight of stairs... No time restricted parking there :-)

It picked up to a nice breeze early afternoon. 7m sails, nicely powered for about 2 hours at least. Fun session with 3 or so other guys.
