I've come to realise something. Seabreeze is like a work roster for me, it seems.
Green arrows mean I'm working.
Yellow arrows, mean I'd like to think I can get time off, but probably won't. You can actually tell what happened by looking at the wind readings. Yellows that turn green mean I got too busy to leave. Yellows that turn red mean that patients cancelled, and I got to go home.
Red arrows indicate when I'm not working.
Anyone else ever notice that Monday is consistently the windiest day of the week ?? And get driven totally nuts by the fact ?

I think it's a conspiracy.....................bloody Illuminati !!

i have noticed 7 days out they often give you hope so you keep opening the page and looking at their sponsors adverts only to slowly be disappointed as the days pass by.

Yeah, I've noticed that too, now you mention it.
I never pay attention to ads, so I hadn't made the connection.

And next Monday has a big forecast now too. A familiar pattern emerging.

THIS IS THE BESTEST APRIL EVER!!

my skate demands... MORE WIND PLZ

Yeah, it's been good, but if there was a medal for "Avoiding Wind", I'd be getting it.
Seems every day there is good wind, I'm working.
Oh well...................

And since my job at Tweed has turned to wet pus, I'm going away for 2 weeks work. MIght get a sail at Elliott Hds this weekend though cos I'm going to Gin Gin. Bet it drops out.

it's been alright but to be honest this year from xmas through has been crap on the whole.

worst year i can remember

we haven't had any good hybrid cyclones, no east coast lows, yada yada yada

huey is a big fat poo head!

fingers crossed we get some westerlies this winter, cause over the last few seasons they sucked as well.

Hmm, It's been pretty bad the last two months. Then again the beginning of the season was great. I've sailed 41 times so far this season against only 29 last season.

Don't know why I still can't gybe tho.

Well, I was trying to be agreeable, but I have not had as many sails as I would have liked.
Just seem to make the wrong call, though going to Bundaberg a few weeks back was a good one. I think it's the best weekend they have had.
Never mind, it's more than I had for a few years before that, and I have all my gear sorted now, so I'm happy about that and ready for next spring.

Have you made it the focus of a few sessions ??
When I went to BBG, my primary goal was to resurrect my gybing skillz.
I was much happier with my gybes after that.

Yeah. I'm not as bad as I make out (though others I sail with might have a different opinion!). Just can't get it perfect and reliable every time.

Well join the club there. I have my days. The worst thing for gybing is running out of wind. It just destroys technique. Easy to gybe in plenty of wind, esp with smaller sails.

Best thing i ever did for my gybes was to sail on one tack just long enough to get upwind. Just means that instead of doing maybe 20 gybes a session you do 100+. Another thing is to tack one side and gybe the other, really easy to stay upwind and you can stay upwind doing only 100m runs and get heaps of tacks and gybes in.

But I reckon if you get to a point where you just keep messing them up, then stop and do something else.

That's exactly what I did at Elliott Hds. Gybed every 50m for a half hour at one stage.
Can't tack but, for love nor money.
