Hi adrian, no worries, saturday is my preference normally.

Hi dave do we need to use the funny accent also.

Hi Lee, yes we need people to be members that atted the events. the membership is very very affordable and the club runs on the smell of an oily rag.

that said, definatley come along and check things out. if you think the setup is in your liking then join up and join in.

Hi Mr Spag, fingers crossed.

still watching the forecast.

if it fails to blow we will adjust the date as per the usual setup.

p.s. the wanderers club agreed to buy a starboard start today.

Hi wanderers,

we will push the meet back 2 weeks as the forecast is not looking so good. we set a minimum start position for green arrows on the forecasts.

i do believe we will get some wind this weekend but how much and when is very difficult to say.

cheers

Yeah, but you've gotta go with the forecast.

11 sailors a Queens yesterday - outnumbered kites by a wide margin.

Looks hopeful for a good weekend's sailing. I'm carb loading now in anticipation. Going to need lots of energy.

hi guys,

yes i'm back, i've been in kingscliff since early wednesday and got back last night. i had a familly birthday party to attend.

i got my eye on the forecast and next weekend is pencilled in for the wanderers meet. if the forecast doesn't play we will just keep going until we get wind.

fingers crossed.

might have to drop around for a look, seems like a fairly short drive from my place, possibly closer then wello, suppose it depends on traffic. i'm sick of **** wind at wello.

We'll be able to get my membership sorted out, Justin.

Redcliffe went off last weekend. I'm hoping for another double header this weekend.

We're going to have to rename Queen's "Kanaha", I think.

cheers ian for the map;

redcliffe has certainly had most of the wind over he last few weeks.

also no probs sorting out memberships at the meet. i'll bring some extra forms.

hi Lee,

i'll shoot through the details tonight. shame you will miss the meet.

also if anyone wants any photos give me a yell at the meet and i'll try to single you out of the pack. i'm taking the camera and hoping to take advantage of the higher ground around the bay. should provide a different angle looking down instead of eye level.

That's it! I remember you taking that photo on Sunday morning before the wind came in.

There was a huge queue of girls lining up for lessons. Pity we couldn't fit them all in. I suppose we'll catch up with them this weekend.
