Looks like a bit of a westerly at the end of the week and low tides around midday. Are any of the channels working OK in this direction at the moment?
Yep, Third Channel should be good. Anything from WNW to SW would do the trick in the southern section.
Not nearly as long a run as the eastern bank in easterlies. The western bank disappears with the tide an hour or so quicker than the east side. But its more or less in the same shape its been for the past 12 months or so.
Tides a bit lower than they have been for a couple of weeks, which is ideal.
Second Channel is also doable, but is a bit shallow in places, particularly the middle section.
Best forecast for Stanley in quite a while. Looking forward to it.
Hope to see a few there
I'm pretty keen. Will be in Strahan Thursday, so plan to drive to Stanley early Friday. Then maybe sail Port Sorell on Saturday.
At this stage - I'll be heading up Friday until Sunday.
Saturday session at the Stanley pub, big day Sunday 
... I'll have the mushy sauce on standby 
Looks like a morning and an afternoon session for Friday, either side of low tide at midday.
Best of luck Dave
I will be looking forward to Dorans this weekend
Kind regards Russ
Dave in that wind direction you will want to keep sailing at low tide 10.55 am its a 0.83 low so enough water over in the 3rd channel
good luck all, at this point ill sail at home ,finally the new speed board might be here , could have to pick it up Friday morning.

Id go to portsy over Stanley on this direction personally dave?
Agree with James, Port Sorell looks good for Friday! Stanley looks better for Sunday.
I'm pretty keen to try Stanley in a westerly again and forecast isn't looking too bad, so looks like it'll be Stanley versus Port Sorell!!

Russ and I have unfinished Dorans business
Need to make up for the s..t sail we had last weekend.
I'm going to head up to Stanley tomorrow and sail with Dave + Baz & Cookie if they rock up, just to spread the team out a bit.

Cmon Jez, everyone knows if you sail at PW 50 times you will at least get one good sail
Looks like Stanley was worth the trip, well done guys
