I'm not.
It's still all ****.
It's never going to be windy again.
Look on the BOM for a forecast, but I wouldn't bother if I were you. It's all ****.
There seems to be some false hope spread by the random number generators at the BOM that it won't be entirely s h i t for a brief period around dawn tomorrow. It'll probably be still dark ... if they're not wrong.
Don't get your hopes up.
If this is for this weekend not just Fri and Sat, then I will be trying for a sail at Bonno in morning.
BOM Forecast issued at 5:10 am EDT on Friday 24 February 2012.

Sunday 26 February
Winds Northerly 15 to 20 knots. Seas 0.5 to 1 metres increasing to 1.5 metres during the morning.
Thinking GP or possibly Elwood (Works in northerly right?).
Am going to take some tea, a deck of cards and my knitting kit as a preference for the momring. Windgear as a second option.
That is where I was thinking Stephen.... top end of the beach... don't see why it would be a problem.... Its paying the equivelent of the US bail out for parking that sh1+s me at GP.... but to be safe might as well print some money and head on down there..... might earn some coin from my knitting waiting for a northerly wind in anycase....
I'm think of trying Point Cook coastal park as i see some kites going off there and in a south easterly it looks great.

Rye was excellent today (133 Future, 6.0 North) - packed up at midday, was reasonably broken by that point and more sailors heading out - hope everyone had a blast!
Started at9am at Bonno to head home after 2pm with the wind still blowing. A great day.
Pretty good at Rye today.
First few Gybes on my 90lt in the bay (awsome)
Sunny and warm, clean water and a bit of wind. Life doesn't get any better.
Cheers Lozza
