Drove down there on Sat to catch the cross-off northerly. Unbelievable. Surf did not seem as solid as predicted. Unbelievable. Went to Robe to see if better. Unbelievable. Robe was worse. Unbelievable. Went back to Granites but it had dropped out. Unbelievable. Drove back to Goolwa beach as the readings were solid there. Was no good. Unbelievable. Drove home. Unbelievable...

You should have stayed home and sailed Triggs and U-turns. Guess you never know though if you never go..

Drove around corner at 9am a half a dozen crew getting some good ones at triggs

Sailed for an hour Wind backed off

Had coffee and biscuits

Wind came back in
Head high sets and 20+knts U-s and triggs

Sailed till 2 a bit Worn out

Heaps of crew on the water

Used $2 gas

The grass was greener in our own backyard

Sounds awesome - is it out the same area as the west coast after comp sail?

So will it work in a Se'r for next years west coast classic?
