Maybe you should get into surfing and you can make the most of these no wind weeks. Much better than sitting around at home doing chores.

couldn't justify skipping out on work for <15knots.

I think I saw someone non-planing at the train out of the work window.

while on your downward spiral into homosexuality you should at least give formula a go.

Did similar on Sunday at Paradise Point, off James Cook Parade (catchy or what?). Wanted to check how deep it was.

At high tide and a N/NE (even a S/SE) you can sail all the way across, was 1.2m+ tide and about chest deep.

Potential.

Hi Nick. Is all that rubbish still setup at the train? Have we got car park access? ta

another spot, the northern tip of sovereign island gets a ripsnorter breeze blowing down there and a wide expanse of water when N or NW, but i don't think there's any rigging access left. i hate developers (but not software delevopers )
