Whats the go with the wind tomorrow? Any chance of getting a sail in anywhere... north haven prehaps?

The predictions aren't offering anything you can plan by at the moment. BOM is showing a 15-20knot SSW seabreeze at Port Hughes/Moonta on Friday arv, but the 3-7day model is a heads up only. I can't get out of work early for a while anyway.

I thought that may be the case, just itching to get out again after a good weekend!

Day street after lunch - could be goin orf - ahh work

Ill be there Russ....... am until school pickup.
Forecasting 20-30kts in the morning 2ft swell. sweet if it works
It's been along time between drinks...... actual that might be a problem with to much drinking and the extra kilos added in the break.

Work work.....always at work.

work work until sunday and then its a seabreeze and swell
btw 28-41k at the mo'

Ah well, looks like the valley all to myself tomorrow

i like a challenge, if this rain keeps up who knows?

Sailed u turns last night for 10 mins before freaking out at the lightening strikes Burt sailed a bit longer - saw bolts hitting the water all over the place - took gear up top - standing at the top in the pergola - blinding flash and crack all at the same time not sure what it hit but felt the air move and the crack started before the flash finished - nearly filled the wetsuit not sure about sailing in thunderstorms

Day street this arvo would have been a better option! how sweet it was! nearly forgot how to wave sail!

there were some seriously strong squalls yesterday afternoon, but always accompanied by lightning and thunder. when skies would part overhead we'd rush out and sail in some very flukey conditions, but the constant backdrop of bruise-black clouds, rolling thunder and distant lightning kept my teeth on edge.

any precedent of a sailor being struck?

Great to get a few waves... Awesome to see the 25 kt plus wind stiLl can't believe how windy it was.

Best sail in the last month

pebbles HAAK? 3 or 4pm for me until late
