Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?
Hopefully we get some form of Seabreeze or change on Saturday more than forecast.
Myself:
Saturday morning I'm buying my wife a wetsuit so she can get back in to windsurfing when we head to Inverloch in couple weeks. In afternoon after our big garden works if the wind does get up even to 15 knots I will sail locally or at Elwood.
Sunday does not look great, so I might continue working on the house for an up and coming birthday party for my wife and her family visit. Then go to Parkdale Yacht Club to discuss future windsurfing events about lunch time.
With regards to the informal clinics on the bay, if we don't get much wind for the weekend we will have to once again put it off until hopefully next weekend. Keep an eye on this post and future 'Where are you Windsurfing this Weekend' posts.
Refer to the extract from BOM forecast below for Port Philip Bay.

Saturday housework
Sunday SHQ Kids Club with my 8yo and then more housework
Doesn't look much like sailing conditions out there this weekend so maybe I can save up the points and get a mid week sail in next week. There might be some wind during the week.
With all these confessions going on I think Stephen has become our Father Confessor.
So I will start
Bless me father for I have sinned.
I put a fin in that was too small on the day but because it was a C3 it stuck and I went fast[}:)]
On another day I put a crappy fin in that was too big and I went fast but out of control
Then when Ian and George where distracted I tied bricks to their fins so they would not beat me on their GPS's
Oh and do not mention Drift, I have done some shocking things to him. He complains that the noses on his boards keep cracking .... well.... hmmm....
Richie, well you see I doctored his gps that show all his tops speeds as spikes/catapults
How many hail marys do I have to do and how much in the poor box Father?
Straight to purgatory for you Dougie! Your fate shall be decided there.
Chances are there's more wind there so you may enjoy it!
In the space of a few months I purchased a sail and a board, which I think beats Squid Lips & Drift's combined efforts!
I bought a 95 litter wave board Monday because my 135l was way too big for Sundays wind. Also want and got those small sails repaired because I was too overpowered using a 6.5.
I think I was the jinx.
Well I haven't done anything. So why should I suffer with you lot of bad mother f**kers. And I still cant go 30 knts +.
confessional part 2...
the other day I actually considered wearing boardies over the top of my wettie....
Perhaps gentlemen, we may need to take the lightwind option to practice our Longboarding skills. Like maybe riding the wally on the rail whilst doing the splits and devouring a Half Double Decaf Latte with a twist of lemon. Big comp coming up and we sure don't wanna be shown up at the home break. I will be sailing (hopefully) for the first time in 6 weeks after the shoulder mishap.But Sunday only
Going to be great to have you back on the water again Moondo. Zipping around us as always
Just been speaking to Drift and he raises an interesting point. Since we all have confessed our inappropraite behaviour the wind conditions have got considerably better. Perhaps we should make this a monthly event
