As all of you are probably aware there is a southerly change due Sunday just around start time so we are going to look at following options and call it as late as possible , so check your emails over the weekend

1. The southerly is late so we start earlier than normal to get the most of the northerly say around midday (race at Wynnum)
2. The southerly is earlier so we start usual time (race at manly)
3. Comes in at 2 and we are stuffed


So please check email and seabreeze and your email for updates

Forecast hard to call

Race committee has made the call to race from manly at 2.oo pm. If by chance the wind is still from north we will relocate to Wynnum .

A strong wind warning has been issued so throw in your bump and jump gear in case we decide that it is not suitable to race.

See you there

I predict the change to come through at about 3pm. This should make things very interesting(exiting).....

What's the parking like at manly, I noticed they have markets on sundays.

Hi Lee, no drama with the markets, to far from where we sail on the point. If the wind is on, should be a ripper Arvo! Looks like today was perfect.

BOM is predicting a strong NE early before the southerly change. Is it worh calling an early start?

Very unpredictable these southerly changes. Now looks like arriving around 5 oclockish.???? Re marine weather services.

Could have been affected by Day Light Savings Richie?

What Time is Sign on

Hi all

We are going to race from Wynnum today we want to start by 1pm so get down early

Regards simon

.11:35am. currently 12-15 knots NNE..

Thanks Bayside for another great day on the water. Pity about the start boat but them's the breaks. Good on you Mike for having the canastas to get the course set, reminded me of the days when we used to use the little WQ tinnie.

Great sausages from the big grub also. Cheers Jenzy.

Couple of pix from early in the day and then the start of the third race.

Turned out it came through at about quarter to five...

Was a quick change. I left Wynnum in a NE and it was SE by the time I drove past Manly

Great day! well done to all for organising. The beach start actually worked ok.

Did Simon manage to get the bouys back Ok ?

Looks nice and flat for a little way. Can you sail the other side of the wall in a southerly or is it too shallow?

Simon,

I was just trying to remember where you had mentioned getting some long board racing going..

I think in a Bayside email you said something about looking to start this on Saturday afternoons in October. Did you get any interest...? I am keen to join in if this gets going.

cheers,
Alec.

Sounds good! Any long boards in the container that will be for sale?

took some photos when i stopped for a bit of a rest. someone tell me if they have figured out how to stop seabreeze from squishing the photo sizes down to tiny....

pre-race warmup, super casual gybe

simon, got a pretty good start race 2


traffic jam at the bottom mark



and yeah i only had a 1gb card, the 16 was in the gopro so ran outta space

Nice Swoosh

Great shots Swoosh, love the traffic jam around the mark, really captures the confusion at jibe time.

cool pics Ben !

Ben,

the fact that you have photographic evidence that I started last in every race only makes it more painful. I had almost wiped it from my memory.

I think I was daydreaming.

Great shots!! you are in the wrong proffession!

bart, i thought you were just being generous and volunteering as safety officer to keep an eye on everyone, due to the start boat being broken.

was fun to watch the race, might have come keep you company at the back of the pack next time round instead of just trash talking from shore, shorter legs and more gybes would be good thou please.

Nice Pics thanks Swoosh. It was a great day. Nice BBQ after too.

My legs are short enough

In Bart's defence it was windy, maybe he was drafting and waiting for the most opportune moment to strike.

Hi All

Due to unpredictable forecast racing is called off for tomorrow Sunday 21-10-2012

Just replying to this post so everyone knows it is current. Good call given the forecast.
