The forecast is looking good for some great sailing, North 20-30

. Had a great sail last Saturday, 8 guys to sail with and some good wind, and stacks, some bigger that others! Thinking about Barwon Heads again, great spot, great sailing and a nice big grass area next to the water to rig, Who's keen

Excellant, went out last Sunday to Point Henry, had a awesome sail, runs form car park to salt works over at limeburners, strong wind though, had 5.0 up first then had to put a 4.6 later flat water only about 200mm of chop fast runs.

Yeah I got caught up with work so didnt get a chance. Hopefully should be able to squeeze both days this weekend.

Probably similar to last week - Barwon River on Sat then Pt Henry on Sunday.

You will also have to get a gps and join our team

Yes i thought this would happen spent all sunday on the Flow and hit some crazy speed every now and then, and was always thinking how fast was that? That means all new sails not happy with that

freerides will have to do for a while

My only sail when I first joined GPSTC was a 5.8 KA Kult - not exactly designed for speed and rigged on a 155 lt GO.

Dont be worried about your gear. The challenge is about pushing yourself, being part of a team and improving yourself with the gear you have.

Doesnt look good for today at this stage. The wind looks like it wont kick in till later this afternoon.
I may give it a miss till tomorrow and hit Pt Henry instead when it has a little more west in it.
