Aiming for Fri am if forecast stays the same. be nice to have a sail in control for once!
Hi sue, have a weedy now so might head down Friday arvo. For a westerly, where is the launch spot? Haven't sailed there before.
Hey James , just park near the toilet block ,
And rig up there , if it's on you will see other
People there. , very nice people
Looking a bit suss now - might be 7.2m weather.
Ill be aiming for the am I think & fairly early if its up.Yep launch spot is pretty obvious.The floating weed patches have been cleared out by the strong winds too..
sounds good, is gregs dodgy sounding toilet block with "very nice people" somewhere near the caravan park? 
it blowing today. but at Canton it only 12-16 km. but it a nice way to chill down
forecast has changed a few times over the last couple of days,
it maybe a bit of quess when it will blow but it should some
time. I getting another mount for the cam to try some new angles.
i going to try mounting it on a pole in the water & everyone can
gybe infront of it. whats the area like, anyone had stuff stolen
from cars or the beach?.
I have not heard of anyone having anything stolen from their car at Canton Beach when windsurfing there. Its a pretty easy going sort of place but you wouldn't leave a brand new camera or laptop laying around in an unlocked car while you were out windsurfing.
I've seen some dodgy looking gangs of 10-12 year old kids wandering around looking in peoples yards & going into the toilet block (
).
One of the guys forgot his boom & extension and they were gone when he came back the next day ( but that could happen anywhere).
I suppose if other sailors are on the shore it would be safe to leave gear but I always tie my boards to the racks or a tree with a bike lock.
Hard to know when to go tomorrow. Planning for an early sail but will watch the wind.
The camera should be safe if its out on a pole in the water at this time of year..brr..
Great yesterday .I expected it to be a walk in the park after the last few full on sails but I still wore out fast. c 20 kts + reasonably consistent.
Rus set up his camera on a pole and we gybed near it..I thought I was going to collect it a few times .I'd go flying in and then start the gybe and concentrate on the exit when I was about 10' from it and hope I'd turned early enough..
It survived.
Be interesting to see if it worked. Took about 1 dozen gybes but finally got 1 that was half decent..
Yes it was a great sail at canton yesty, a bit flatter than
the last few sails there, 6.2 was good. I didnt have the cam
pointing down wind enough so most of gybes finish out of
the shot but the carve looks cool, there is probly 15 of sue &
a few of the other guys there.
I have a contour cam, every one has a go pro so i
got the contour. still HD 1080p just dosnt come with any
accesseries, have to buy water housing & extra mounts & has a
smaller profile when mounted than a go pro.
pole mount out in the water is the go, just have to paint pole
bright yellow or orange & a few bouys around it, was a bit hard
to see.
I dont have a you tube account or a program to edit the vids, i tried
to email to someone who dose but they are over a gig & wont send.
Burn them to disc russel , leave it in your
Car and I will get it next time I see you
Good to hear people had a good time. Yep Marmong is **** in a NW ..too gusty! Spoilt with Tuggerah lakes!
