Dont rush!!, be patient.
The southerly is best in the afternoon, too south west this morning for Clifton.
If it stays south /south west a group of rebels may head to Park.

Sitting at Grove was planning to go to pipeclay this afternoon to play on the southerly. Wondering if it came through yet?

Swell built so quickly I thought I was going to get stuck up the northern end, hate to say it to the guys that got out early but Fluro reckoned it was the best session at Cliffy for the season............if I said we'd got some massive air you either wouldn't believe me or you'd just say I was up myself...................but ya should ave been there ta see it

Yep, the late sailors certainly got the best conditions. Not that the session between 2pm and 4pm was that bad, just patchy on the inside. Maybe should have listened to the President, but I think they just lucked it - that's sailing, being at the right place at the right time.

AH - "...but Fluro reckoned it was the best session at Cliffy for the season..........."

We had the best session for the season up north yesterday too -

3 gusting to 17, shifting through 120 degrees every 2 minutes, no one on the water...

I didn't say it was great, I just said that it was the best session for the season.

I don't suppose there is footage or stills of the Presidential Projectile (from Cliffy, not from the aftermath of the party)

Bored..........

Yeah Ant. The guys like me who sailed early may have missed the best part of the day, but as Dave pointed out, between 2 and 4 wasn't that bad. Just not as good as later. Glad you guys got to rip it up.
