From all of us working tomorrow can people who get out there enjoy the 35+ knts forecast. I am busting for a sub 4m gale warning day. dam it's a Thursday.
Planning on meeting Bayside Steve down at Hampton about 4:30. Hopefully the wind will be up by then Have a 3:30 meeting at work so there had better not be too many questions.
Wow I'll be lucky to make 4.30! I don't think I can leave until 4.15, dash home and out before wife returns to say no! I should see you from the train window as it passes Hampton Beach !
P.S. Waggles, you missed nothing yesterday, it was ok for about 15 mins
Hey BaysideSteve! You gotta bring the bigger board. Last time I saw you, the wind had dropped and the water was up to your knees. Must have been good though when the wind came up again around about 7pm. Hope you hung around for it. Wind was cranking up until 6pm. Beats working late.
Y i hit the deadspot of 6-7pm, don't think i got my knees out above the waterline. when i packed up it was raining so hard there was no point changing so i drove home in my wetsuit, it made yesterday look good.
Where's everyone going this afternoon? Looking at the forecasts the southern parts of the bay will be better. Hope the wind stays around, haven't had a decent sail for weeks!
Well that didn't turn out so good. Decided to head to bonno instead of Elwood after hearing some bad reports regarding the water quality at Pookipa. Arrived at bonno to find a handful of the usual crew already on the water enjoying themselves. Rigged the 5.5m & 94 litre fsw. Few runs out and nicely powered but then the wind just continued to drop for the rest of the afternoon. Enjoyed it while it lasted but was thinking the top end of the bay might have been better..... oh well, got to try new sail and board. Very happy with the combination, pity the wind didn't hang in there.
