Merry christmas all!

Anyone planning on sailing lake mac tomorrow? Whereabouts? I was thinking Marmong point would be good?
Be good to meet some people who sail around here regularly

Cheers, Mark

Valentine is good if S or SSe.Stronger and cleaner than Marmong but if it turns SE Marmongs angle will be better although off the end of Coal Pt will be stronger.
I'm heading to Tuggerah lakes Canton if it stays S .Valentine if its SSE or Coal if SE all about 11am on..Good luck there will probably be people on the lake.

Marmong is ok, its just on the opposite tack to what we usaly sail. marmong is starboard off the beach in a southerly & most spots are port tack leave the beach like valentine, good pratice sailing on the other tack.

Canton is pretty good on a straight southerly. If you want to venture out into the choppy lake you can. Bummer, I'm stuck on the windless mid north coast. At least there has been a bit of rain.

Canton was great! A bit overpowered with the 5.8m so I didn't venture into the chop much except for a few hops..
A lot of short runs as a result - good for gybe practise but tiring..
c 2hrs sailing..happy .
I'm going to the guy cribb course at Jervis Bay at the end of Jan and I've been watching the graphs and we're getting more wind up here! I hope the pattern changes so there is wind for the clinic!
