Cool. Good to see Dendy as a venue. Looks like there could be some good wind - www.bom.gov.au/marine/wind.shtml?state=vic

They should make ricketts point north near the yacht club a second venue. It's a unreal place even in a SW to sail. There were a half of dozen guys out there this afternoon, all ripping it up in the waves.

Awesome forecast!

See Robby sail at your local spot !

A good day despite non ideal conditions, people learnt how to tweak their current rigging and found immediate improvements, and I managed to drag Robby behind toilet block to shoot the breeze...we talked about his previous visits to Oz, getting bitten by a snake, life in Maui, teaching his girlfriend to windsurf, life on PWA tour - the competition, being back after breaking his foot and his goals for next year. Here is just a little snippett on what he thought of Australian sailors...
