Better cross ya toes as well. We all know how much they have been getting wrong of late.

Quad is ready to go but if the swell is going to be that high I don't think we will get on the beach at Nene

Make sure your life insurance is paid up, Vicky might need it

Ya out there Pilly, Bit of luck the swell will be to high to fish.

I've got my camera ready.

Todays forecast for sunday 35 knots and 7m seas.
That will test the banana out Vicky.[}:)]

I'll txt you where and when Pilly.
We can throw the boards and sails on the quad and find some good direction.
Even a down winder from Port Mac to Browns / Track would be fun. 10 km's of endless right hands in over head high
Might be to big at Nene, Pebbles & Posties.
By the way I didn't leave the lens cap on, I deleted it because you looked better than me

8m swell, don't think so. 7.5 at best.

Pebbles or Posties will be to go if ya game. I'll keep watch.
Hope it doesn't go thru to SW. If it does we might do a 10km down winder to finish off the day on Sat.

Sounds good grumpy, lets hope we get some cross off at some stage.

It will be good to catch up.


Karina I brought the last pair of xxxl balls, they certainly don't look big enough for 8m though.

I hope your wrong Pilly but some how I'm getting the feeling that 3 to 4m swell with 15 to 20 knots might be the best we get.
Will have fun either way.

Probably will have a look at Pinchgut first if westerly.

Hope your right Zac.

See ya tomorrow Grumpy,

Keep praying for 20 plus knots mate.

I've just finished packing the leaning trailer of Piza with Ty, it's amazing how much gear you end up with the four of us.

Looks like the local forecast here has been downgraded - we'll be lucky to get a sail sundy.

Is it worth following the leaning trailer of piza to collect some severne blades that drop of the back down the highway.


Have fun - don't drown

Another frustrating day, for the pole dancers. Swell picking up but wind was too much off shore. I hope you feel guilty not taking the girls to the lake.

You should of hung around. I went back after lunch and had another great sess. 20 knots wnw at the light house, hehehehe rained all arvo though.

Marty, hope you paid "LA" & "the banana chick" for carrying your gear to the waters edge




Ya not having much luck Pilly. About time to swap over

Looks good guys... much better than I've been getting in Vic. Hard work trying to work out where to sail in any given wind direction when you're in a new location. Might make a trip back to SA in a few weeks!
Keep the photos coming!

Thanks for a great weekend Grumpy!!
It was awsome!
Hopefully see you guys soon...and we'll start collecting Adelaide seaweed for Mitch and leave it at Ty's place!
The boys haven't heard the end of Lake George yet....might have to wait till we can use it as bribery!!!




Pilly...don't listen to Grumpy!!!

Felt like I finally made it when the girls carried my gear for me, mind you I think they now reckon I owe them a trip to Lake George all rigging included for their efforts.

Thanks for putting up with us all G and E, I hope Mt Gambier recovers from the girls some time this year.



Tony let us know when your coming over we'll have to try and hook up for a sail mate.
