How's the wind looking up there? So far I will be there and looking forward to catching up with a few people

Hi Deejay, lots of wind at Caloundra today could have been on a smaller sail than 5.7 at times. A few of my team makes we're at the lake today and posted some good times. see link, but I think it took a while for the wind to fill in. Should be good moderate wind for the weekend.

See you up there
Cheers
Kellie

Cool thanks Kellie, seeya up there

yeah seabreeze has never been so good wit hthe seabreeze predictions ironically.

once you see those upside down v shapes with high inland temps you are pretty much going to get something.

usually anyways.

The lake was just great today, should be good for the next few days.

Lets hope it keeps up for Sunday. I just got back from Imbil, had a few good gusts of wind but nothing major though. Looking forward to getting out on the Lake again

Looks like I can make it Sunday. Kids staying home to do swimming carnival. I've got a leave pass

Looking to see if all the TOW I've had over the past month will show some results now that I've had a few days to rest the bruised and battered body.

Will be bringing the Kona

Cheers Jeff

Great weekend
Thanks Kellie and Dylan

+1 Very good day

My only complaint is I''m worn out I & ever one else just sailed till they dropped the lake is unreal the fan switches on at 11 each day & you say o no not again I think the wife's & kid had just as much fun as the weather was very hot but down at the lake it was just fantastic sitting in the cool wind off the water.
Just a gr8 place to be in a heatwave with a heap of gr8 mates.
I will not be sailing for at least a day I just have to recover a bit.
Well done to the windwanderers club thanks for all your hard work to make it happen.

Yep very sore today, i'm looking to have a good week off for work and back into it hard this weekend, that wind yesterday was amazing, I drove in at 10am and there was next to no wind at all, come 11am and it was amazing, poor Kellie had to stop the lessons due to the strong winds so a couple of friends of mine barely got to step into the water with her before heading back to the shore.

Seeyas all up there in February.

Many thanks Kellie and Dylan,fantastic weekend heaps of wind
and great company,magic.

Detailed results for the 1Hr event on Saturday 12th January 2013 are at docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JfVGCZuunneTF3w98-UsE5QLTHrqFXf3k7WHI_NH7X4/edit

Top five speeds were:
Michel Van Der Pligt26.594
Phillip Nott 26.242
Rob Humphris 25.061
Glynn Merritt 24.828
Jeff Kim 22.329

16 sailors signed in. There were three who did not give me their card at the end of the day, but they all assured me their speeds were not worth recording. You can look them up at GPSTC ;)

Full report will be posted at windwanderers.org.au tomorrow with photos (yes, Ray, probably even with photos of you!)

Cheers,

Dylan.

A few photos from Saturday.






Deejay getting out on Sunday just as the wind was filling in

Looks like you all had a great weekend. Congratulations to the Windwanderers crew on another successful event.

Thanks Dillon and Kell, had a great day on Sunday

Thanks Kellie for putting that pic up, not lol, I hit the pole on the right there with the very end of the boom as I was heading out on that run, seriously have to work on learning to steer the board properly.

Haven't had internet for a while so a bit late but here is a small write up about Saturday's 1 hr challenge.

Below are the Nautical mile results from Sunday (results taken off GPS Team Challenge) so let me know if you were out there and I have missed you. Was just a bit of fun to see what nautical mile speeds were achievable on the lake. Interesting as there were some very close speeds. Not much in it between 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th places
