Looks like the bay is going to be pretty pooy this weekend, and the lakes are growing the good ol algae. Where is everyone thinking of going close to Melbourne?

I know the forecast is bad, but you can rely on them like an aussie politician... its bound to change...........

I went out at Parkdale on Tuesday morning. My skin has broken out in about 100 red, itchy spots within 6 hours of getting out of the water. Very dodgy at the moment.

That's no good. I hope you better now.
I'm hoping the water is better for Sunday. We will have a couple of dozzen kids and others windsurfing this Sunday there.

KDog, it looks like your windsurfing skateboard will come in handy!

Saw the skin specialist and it's not the water so you should be in the clear. Apparently I am allergic to the latex in the wetsuit. (I had the harness tighter and this caused more rubbing) Might buy myself a full lycra bodysuit to wear underneath the wetsuit. A bit like Catwoman. A scary sight that would be

Good news about te water, but bad news about wearing a wetsuit. A full arm rashie may help.
