"Pearso" is right (this time) - Greens is cooking tomorrow, Bellbuoy Saturday - Sunday...Jury is still out.

Looks like at least 4 of us at Greens tomorrow - ETA as yet unknown. Tide makes little difference at Greens so perhaps a leisurely breakfast, the 9.01 wind check, and aim to hit the water mid to late morning...wind should have set in by then at 25 - 30 (avoid those an annoying change downs).

Don't you love Tasmania?

I'll be sticking down south, might try a little sail with glad wrap around my leg, worked for kayaking. Somehow I don't think the glad wrap would last in the waves.

The glad wrap idea does work Kazza! When I had my bad leg I felt compelled to get back on the water somewhat before what the doctors advised, and wrapped it up. Worked well.

Yeah Easty you're right about the wrap...................... last time I had a saw head I wrapped it up......worked well for 30secs then I was buggered.

Tomorrow could be good for Carlton or Sandpits in the south, maybe I'll leave a trip up north for the weather to warm up

I had a great afternoon. 3 hours of sun, wind and waves. Wind swung to the north a bit once everyone else left but still enough for my 5. Thought today might be a go, but greens would be better with the NW prediction. Wind needs to turn up though.
