Al, nice to see a few waves again, we were flat water sailing. I'm heading up to Marrawah on 17th I think Kaleb is coming, what about you can you get a leave pass.

Maybe, depends on my negotiating skills I guess, I will keep an eye on the weather.

Monday or Tuesday are looking OK for Bell Buoy or Bakers..

Yer Russ,
I'm interested in a big downwinder, I've always wanted to do that, it will be great with a bunch of sailors then if something goes wrong ie gear breakage, there is help.Maybe even sail further to Lauderdale.

yeah, Clifton to Lauderdale is the one. have done it a couple of times myself, once you get round the point at clifton its just one big reach over to slopen island/white beach, back to Cremorne then anoither big reach accross the bay and then gybe and fly into Lauderdale.
I did it one once when there was a big swell and when you were right out in the middle you could not see any land!, just a big flock of mutton birds.
Definately something that should be done each summer.
cheers

I'm definitely in for a down wind-run!!! Be good to have partners or other sailors who are not keen to do the down-winder there to drive cars back.

I did the early to Bell Buoy this morning, East had a bit of a wind shadow and the ultra high tide is never great there. I had a great sail for a couple of hours until the old UJ I was using shat itself. This resulted in a 15 min swim in ( the water is still pretty cold when you have a long swim).

I ended up well down the beach where the shore break and high tide was moving those watermelon sized rocks around like they were tennis balls (great for giving the gear a groovy stone wash effect, if only sails were made from denim) , mostly cosmetic damage, I was pretty lucky.

We'll have a car here at home to take people back to their cars. The only catch is Clyde won't let people in it with salt water all over them!! He loves his belovered cars. May have to do some sort of car shuffle.
