Long range forecast looks OK - are we expecting a good turnout at Hardies run on Sunday?

Can anyone advise what the tides are likely to be like?

High tide just over 1m at 8.00pm (20:00).
Tide around 3.00pm (15:00) .84m and on the rise.

Here's more info

Peel tide completely diff, and then you need to look at storm surge data:
Peel Inlet: Sunday 22nd Feb 2009 0.41m @ 9:30 AM
0.68m @ 11:15 PM

How about more of an interpretive answer; "tide will be perfect" or "a bit low" or even "frickin' dangerous"?

".68m at 11.15pm" doesn't make it completely clear as to whether that is any good.

Dependent on storm surge on that day, sailing out middle is not dangerous, anything below .6m is v. dangerours near run

Each card gives just shy of an hour, got 2 new sets of batteries so should be able to cover all the bits which I'll be sailing in

You coming down Alex?

Cool Fury one, does that mean you can take me over to the other side for a quick sail - Claudesville?

Looks like that could be a distinct possibility

good run to make sure you're setting's are right for the race.

The good news in we already have a nice SSE blowing here, the bad news is it's cold (but that won't last long)

Feeling optimistic

Hope he mends quick.

Big Thanks to Reg for putting on a great event

Fantastic turnout

the most sails we have ever seen on the estuary at one time.

Hell of a lot of PB's achieved by a lot of the GPS crew.

Some great racing was to be had.

Awesome day
