I'm going to head up to Marion Bay on Thursday, starting from lunch-ish. Weatherman reckons it should a tad over 20 knots. It should be mid-tide at noon and rising. Temperatures in the mid twenties.

What more could you want?

Time to figure out a way to get out of work... (I'm starting work at 4am)

Thurs looks excellent for Marion or Goats with strong noresaterly heading down the coast
I might head for Goats cos looks like a bit of swell

I reckon I'll try to get to Marion in the afternoon.

I'll try for Goats late arvo, if too much north I'll try Lauderdale front beach.

Hey all, where's the best flat'ish water location close to Hobart with tomorrows forcast ??

Marion lagoon should be the best tomorrow for flat water with a strong noreasterly

Drive down the Tasman Hwy towards Port Arthur, turn left at Copping on the Marion Bay rd, go up over the hill (guessing about 4 km), turn hard right when you hit the water, drive 1.7km from the corner to a little track next to the cemetery, should be few sailors going down. About 45 mins from Hobart

If you want somewhere closer to Hobart try Lauderdale front beach

I'll see you at Goats Kazza wind and swell looks good

Thanks Houston,

Will see what the winds like tomorrow and take it from there,

Marion Bay is still looking good for wind from mid-morning onwards and the tide should alright after 1 (and rising for the rest of the day).

I hope to see some of you there!

Work not playing its part though, too much on, hopefully can get it all done so I can sail.

The wind isn't playing its part either at the moment. Hoping it's just coming in a little later than forecast rather than being a complete fizzer.

SHOULD get good later in the arvo

Goats 5-10 knots off shore bloody useless

from what i have heard Marion was ok. rob rang and said he had a decent saiol on frontr beach . more wind than trhe lagoon.

gee we have to work for a sail this year!!

come on wind!!!!

The wind was pretty ordinary in the lagoon. I'm guessing it had a bit too much North in it (NNE at Maria island). When the wind was up it seemed to swing further to the East. Fun nonetheless but not really worth the effort (getting up super early to work and driving an hour each way).

> What more could you want?

Steady wind and sun!

I think the rain killed it!!

I think all the hype killed it, unfortunately at this time of year you take what you get on the day.
Now as to BOL next week...Fos you are breaking my balls

I ended up with a good sail latish in the arvo on the inside with a 5.4m up. Fair bit of nne in it. Bit variable early.
