hi choco,

i rang peter nitschke today ( caloundra wind and surf) to see if he could help. if you can courier your gear to him either at his shop or his house he can take it up on his trailer.

i'll pm you his details.

cheers.

Water starts will be quicker and more dry gybes, better watch Guy Cribb a lot more.it will be like sailing around Cairns, look out for logs with teeth at one end.

Just a quick question!

A PFD is mandatory, so i went to buy one, there are ratings on them ranging from 4 to 1. IS there any specific one we are meant to have to enter the competition?

Vando,
I'll expect nothing less than 40+knots from you.

Hopefully the low will sit around central queensland with a big high down over the southern states. Don't want to jinx it though.

yes, it does appear that something is in the pipe in the coral sea.

time will tell.

at this stage most of the computer models are showing a low NE of CQ coast early to mid next week. anything can happen though and probably will.
the bom is also releasing statements about the lows as they deepen or move.

the models that give 2 weeks notice are EC & GFS. but with so much predicted action in the coral sea happeing they really can't be relied upon.
