It's ok,I have a 3m and a 3.5 in the bag.Great day sailing today we got all the wind.No good in the arvo

Yeah, I had a great sail. I don't think I'll be able to walk tomorrow, but it was worth it. I'm definitely going back there.

Yeh Ty I had my 3.5 out yesterday, the swell is 8 to 11 metres the next 3 days down here with the wind gale force cross to cross off though last night was straight offshore at Beachport so sailed the lake instead as the tides are too high to get around the beach, the lake is FULL 5 steps to knee deep and planeing straight away from the 5 mile drift. Didn't see your dad as I didn't get there till 4pm, Bloody shift work again, will take some phot'os when i'm down there Wednesday.

The October long weekend is looking like its gonna be a cracker!

Good road to spit - check
Water in the lake - check
House booked - check

Sure does look good Dave,
Yes the lake is FULL and the sea is still poring in.
At the pub last night after sailing and was offered the whole use of the back courtyard room for us windsurfers to use for tea and presentations, they have just put in a 150cm big screen and dvd that we can also have full use off plus Chris the owner said they will chuck a few meals in for prizes, but you might be banned from winning any prizes as you have won enough bloody new sails already !!!!

I dont do prizes, only raffles....

Maybe contact Pete re the pub and the back courtyard, that could work out well, not sure what ONBOARD have planned for this event....
