Following all the recent mayhem that these southerly fronts have been causing we will be holding a safety clinic on the beach at Jervis Bay. Qualified instructors will be present.
There's a pretty good chance (unless we reschedual or my shoulder magically heals
) that I'll be down there camera in hand while the girlfriend is out kiting with you lot. ![]()
sick, does it get very windy down there.
im heading down for the navy next year and i will be studying there for like 16 weeks. sounds like i might need to [ack the kite.![]()
Definitely bring your kiting gear and a wetsuit even in summer.
Jervis Bay gets more wind than most places, particularly this time of year. The NE seabreeze comes in earlier in the season due to the water being quite cool. It has something to do with the way the deep ocean currents run into Jervis Bay. This produces the a significant differtial between cool ocean breeze and warmer land mass which sets up the seabreeze convection. At least that's what the locals tell me.
I'm happy to go with "Kurnell Kite-astrophy". I have a spring loaded line knife up my wetsuit sleeve.![]()
But all that aside ,we're looking forward to catching up with the Jervis Bay kiting locals over the weekend. You might like to join us Saturday night for food and drinks.
Course racing? Lets discuss the logistics when we get there, it could be on. Do we have marker bouys? I was thinking of a down-winder to Hyams Beach in the NE'er.
No definite times as yet for the Safety Clinic. It will depend on the wind. Most people should arrive mid morning Saturday so I'm hoping we can do something early afternoon Saturday. If you send me your phone number by private email we can keep in touch.
