synoptic is looking promising for an Afternoon SB

By the way huey, SB = sun bake

HC time to prostrate yourself in front of the wind gods.
Grovel and tug your forelock, failing that crack a cask of red and get wasted.

hope it comes up on sun mayb train or if windy enough currumbin?

looks to cloudy like yesterday, not optomistic

whats up with the storm prediction tho...

will s/water work tommorow? or will KFC be the go

all arvo sunday will be wrong direction for a northerly at shearwater, so kfc / train will be the spot

or a trip to the beach somewhere

I had two hours all by myself ( I had deodorant) at Central street , water was lowish but wind was ok , but no one to play with.

Thinkin of heading down to GC and trying out Quota Park.
It could be easier parking and looks ok for a NE with about a 1km run.

Just wondering if anyone has sailed here in a NE

that looks like it could be a nice spot could u go to wavebreak island?

I have seen a few boats in the channel at times seeking shelter when the wind is from the south. In a northerly they would probably seek shelter somewhere else allowing you to sail to wave break island without dodging anchor chains etc.

it's great on ne and dead flat water. i sailed there a few days ago and almost all the boats had gone and plenty of space

for the angle your showing, to get close to the bank u need small fin until 1/2 tide or more. otherwise it's barely shin deep

you can just rig at oatland esplanade and sail over. it's quite easy to get back

Yes heard that was a good run years ago but very shallow now

Ended up goin to the GC and sailin @ kfc today for the first time.

It seems to be a popular family spot with all the amenities incl BBQ and
will definately sail there again when the Shearwater tide is goin the wrong way,
just got to get a car park.

Bernie and I and a couple of Briso guys used to sail that run in the mid 90s but there were very few moored boats. There was a marker at the entrance of Loders Creek to gybe and a great run up and down the sand bar. ahhhh memories.

HC.... you were a late arrival, hmmmmm not like you. I suspect there was something naughty in the woodshed.
