Thinking about heading down for a sail at Albany tommorrow.
Anyone else going down?
What are the best places to launch from, last time i ended up at the yacht club but it was too sheltered and off shore?
What is the best pub to end up in?

Darryl,
PM Evets as he sails there all the time.

I'm guessing any of the pubs will be ok unless you are looking for a couple of French chicks

Yep, heading down for a day trip

I'm packing the car.

YYyyyeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh

That was fun

Can someone post some tracks so we know where this magic spot is?

OK, Mandurah Mob got 6PBs, JJ I think got 3, and Darryl only got one, but he did have 2 2nd bests.
What a fantastic spot!
We stayed at Lilac Cottages, you can rig on their back lawn and launch from there if the tide isn't too low. If it is too low it's about 300m to the public rigging area.

Here's my tracks, Morning and afternoon combined, with the short car trip back to the cottages removed.
(In the morning it was too low to launch from Lilacs, but by lunch time it was fine)





And here's the speed run the next morning from our balcony at low tide.




When the tide comes in the run is through the middle of that weed.
So a good weedy is highly recommended, preferably a shortish low aspect design with 45deg or more rake.
