Was curious what speeds you guys were doing there last weekend. Thinking of heading down there again this weekend Mat?

OCEANBLUE64 some of my fastest runs were at rye. If you windsurf in front of the first sand bar near the pier in a NE, N wind you can get some real good speed runs. Its as flat as sandy point. It is such a buzz sailing 30 knots heading straight for the pier. One problem tho its illegal cause there is a 5 knots speed limit there. The ranger told me off twice for sailing there. The ranger said I was too dam fast. You will probly see me have another crack at it tomorrow. When the ranger is not looking.

I can only dream of sailing at 30 knots let along having to stop before hitting a pier!!

Hey Kona

You must have had divine intervention to make it as flat as The Pit.

Oh

I see you have edited your first post and include pics, yes thats the one I was talking about!!!!

And we need the sausage!!

So what time is everyone heading down? I am thinking early doors around 8:30 again.

I'm aiming for 8:30 - Hope it's windy!

I'm thinking a more gentlemens hour of 11'ish

Kona: Don't want to see you rocking up at a lazy 2 o clock like last week!

The early bird catches the wind @ Rye! or that is what I am hoping I would be going later if it wasn't for the fact my wife has a baby scan tomorrow arvo and if I am late I don't think I will ever get out again!

You've got NO IDEA Roso - it gets worse from here on in, MUCH worse! I made the classic mistake of finding a sport I really enjoy, buying the kit last November, sailing all summer (badly, but sailing all the same) and then hitting the babymaking jackpot earlier this year. Some kind of anti-windsurfing hormone kicks in at about 20 weeks - just after the main scan - and it gets more and more vindictive as time wears on. That space where you keep your gear...now reserved for prams/buggies. That grand you had salted away for a new top end carbon mast....nursery fees mate. My advice - attend the scan - say all the right things and then get as much sailing in as you can before the next one. Cos you never know when the last one might be (according to my missus).

Should form a new lobby group against this discrimination
- Windsurfing Potential New Fathers Anonymous. Couldn't think of an acronmym - sure my missus could though.

Mmmm...was thinking the same! What are the chances it'll pick up?

www.bom.gov.au/vic/observations/melbourne.shtml

The only place that appears to have wind at the moment is point wilson...

8am - still average! If it doesn't fill in in the next hour I will miss out

I am heading to Pt Henry. Winds are only around 15 but at least I will get a sail. It may pick up a bit later.

9:40 and still average to nothing.....10 knots at Sth Channel

wtf is going on?
@ 10:50am 25kts at pt wilson and 5 at fawkner! Has someone put up a massive wall to stop the wind getting to the rest of the bay? I reckon OB is at pt wilson anemometer at the moment with a fan

Hmmm.

Looking out the window here in Mordialloc and it appears to be picking up. Just looked at BOM observations for Moorabin and it's blowing 16-23 knots (www.bom.gov.au/products/IDV60801/IDV60801.94870.shtml). Looking at the trees that looks about right some of the time, but there are some big holes.
