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.

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.
