Looking at the forecast we've got east to southeasterlies all week strengthening this weekend
Could be good for Clifton and the Pond just depends what tickles your fancy.........gotta get a sail out of this
Green Island Team should be out there build the muscles
Planing on getting out for a sail on Friday and Al is keen as well. At this stage don't think I can get out Sat. Wind is looking good for the next few days
Looking at a good 1 hour and distance on Fri if all goes to plan
Saturday is looking very good but still could get something in the next couple of days
Today a meagre 5knots at Clifton
I dried all my sails out last weekend ready for the transport to Cairns, looks like I'm going to have to do it again.
Saturdays the go for me.
Forcast still good for weekend, pond or
onshore heavy mush for the wavesailors who want to break a mast at clifton...
yep unless its howling i will do the pond and try my winter sailing gear
I got an hour of light wind sailing in tonight, tomorrow should be stronger.....hopefully Sat will be going off

After an hour running up and down the beach I managed half hour on the water at Clifton.....Buzzy got a better sail on the pond
Tomorrow has to be the day of the year!!!!!

I can only sail till 1pm saturday
5 hours should be enough
Forecast is windyest in the morning
Just checked the beach and the swell has picked up and gusting just over 15. Doable but not real enticing
Clifton was a surprise, wind a bit patchy but gradually filled in to fully powered with a 5.3, the swell slowly built ...............and my new Fanatic THRUSTER just loves those conditions !!!!

Nice work Houston
You must have had a decent sail on the pond Russ always more wind there than Clifton
Iceman you must be copping a battering up there the forecast was crazy for the NE
Let's hope we get a bit more tomorrow
Wind at airport is about the same strength as yesterday but more southerly so should be better angle I'll head off around 11.30 to Clifton

We'll let you off the hook Iceman, I just checked the observations for St Helens looks like it hasn't stopped raining and the wind very gusty.
I had an awesome 2 hours at Clifton....................got plaining twice, didn't get out the back once and when I finally gave up I place my rig in the biggest dogsh#t ever
