Do either of the northern wave sailers have any idea what to do in one of these?

MSW thinks there will be enough, but WHERE will it be?

That means there are at least 4 Northern Wave sailors now Geoff.

Well that really thumped in...somewhere, I am sure, but definitely not here.

Eyes forward - keep them crossed for Friday and Saturday you THREE other northern wavesailors, that's your fingers, not your eyes...

Rubbish tides at the end of the week, but at this point I am way beyond caring.

Let's sail! But remember the sailing rules / rights of way. This is going to be CHAOS if all of us are on the water at once.

there has been a fair bit of cross on slop been sailed at crayfish creek in the past... its a bit like bell buoys on the opposite tack and a fair drive up there...

i have long wanted to sail the south facing bay that is north of marrawah in a dead E, thing it could be good cross off depending on how it comes off the dunes...

im keen to give it a go, the easterlies have not been around for a couple of years but appear to be back this year...

Got skunked today big time. 15 to 25 knots easterly my A. Hope none of the guys at bom got a Xmas present. I sacrificed my last day off waiting around for that easterly goodness that never blew.

Nope - Tomahawk - 119 km from Launceston According to Maps. I think that I am glad that I didn't drive anywhere yesterday; the dud of the century. Tomahawk is closer than the East Coast so may be worth a look - does anyone have any valuable info on 'Waterhouse'?

I may need a whole new raft of sailing buddies to sail there though - that's THREE more.

A call of "Starboard tack" generally ellicits a stoney silence up this way.

The Seabreeze forecast seemed to be out of whack with others yesterday. Willyweather and bom seemed to be forecasting next to nothing at Low Head. Bom Stanley forecast was spot on. I sailed at Peggs beach which was ok, with some mushy waves and cross shore.
