Anyone able to get out this afternoon? It looks like a big S-Easter is on its way up from the Gold Coast. Its a high tide also so the ramps should be good.

I don't know about anyone else but I feel like I've been on a promise all weekend with all those predictions of 30 knots. The gears in the car and I 'm looking for action...

I could do that, it isn't here yet so it may not happen until too late today.

It's funny, the BOM is saying nothing for tomorrow and lots for Wed and Seabreaze is saying the opposite. Got a coin??

its not meant to be blowing this isn't fair. When i have a chance to go for a sail and i go there is no wind (like last Saturday) and when i can't go there is wind.

Is this just a simple case of Murphy's Law

Got a bit also, it is always good to keep an eye on those late southeasters that sneak up from the coast. It wasn't worthy of bump and jump gear but was a good opportunity to have a bit of slalom practice with Mark and Brad around a well placed buoy.

Your are welcome Trauma..
Yep great link.. helps a lot in deciding when /where and what to do......allthough it does show Currumbin, Mooloolaba and Caloundra Bar (Bulcock Beach) and this can be hard to take when the wind is up you are watching crew rip it up and you are in the office .. however it does amke the day go well

cheers
