Where did you go Elmo?

20 gusting to 35 on the river, wave kit was appropriate for the conditions...

saw some liquid smoke on occasion so did a splat gybe and waited it out...

Mostly upright though, loads of fun

Is it going to drop off a bit?
This is the most consistent wind we've had since Labor Day.
I'm itching to go for a sail but I think my 4.5 is going to be too big to handle.

We went out on the Mandurah Mill pond

Chop got up to a massive 10" (wind wouldn't let it get bigger)

here ya go mineral, Elmo hard at it







phew!!!

Hey guys, I will leave work in one hour ... do you think that Woodman Point or Crazy Waves will be ok ??

And How to get to Woodman point ... is there a car park ??
Is there a beach ??

Cocornichon - I am not the most experienced on sailing spots in Perth but here's some info:

The Woodman Pt turnoff (O'Kane Cr - look it up on Google maps) is just after the lighthouse on Cockburn Rd heading south - you get on to that then take the 1st left and then 1st right on to Woodman Point View Rd - then go to the end by the pumping station, then take a left, and on to the end where there is a car park at the groyne. Windsurfers tend to launch off the beach to the right of the groyne.

Crazy Waves works in a big NWly. Its a bit more W today so might be a bit difficult to get out of the shore break? Don't take my word for it though - I've only sailed there once (in the last big blow - stuck my harness hook through my 5.0m2 when I got caught out in a squall coming in and hammered by a succession of 45 knot gusts!).

Thanks a lot !!

I m leaving now and will have a look to Woodmans Point !!

I hope it will be windsurfable ... I will take some pictures !!

Crazies today around 2:30pm blowing a bit WSW




Don't know who the sailors are

Far as I can tell Mike it's too cold for them now. The water is clear right now but with a bit of a flush it may cloud a bit with run off from the farms. I did the walk of shame the other day and did'nt come across any cobblers, or crabs for that matter.

i ended up at doddis / roberts point and had a ball! both sat and sunday. where was everybody?
