I know the forecast is bad, but you can rely on them like an aussie politician... its bound to change...........

Parkdale on Sunday

Westfields on Saturday

I went out at Parkdale on Tuesday morning. My skin has broken out in about 100 red, itchy spots within 6 hours of getting out of the water. Very dodgy at the moment.

take up knitting

Ballarat lakes are alge free but look like the will be free of wind as well

Parks Vic will drop you in the shiit if you sail too close to shore and your in the shiit if you land in the water....










Pretty Shiity situation we're in hey....

I'm hoping the water is better for Sunday. We will have a couple of dozzen kids and others windsurfing this Sunday there.

KDog, it looks like your windsurfing skateboard will come in handy!
