^^You just had to go and says something didn't you, Couldn't keep your mouth shut for the greater good. [}:)]

.....Anyways I've got my fingers and toes crossed and my special undies on so hopefully that cancels out what you've gone and done

I'm guessing the Gong might actually be windier than Gerroa. always seems to be early and late in the season.

re the Southerly... well I guess you just destroyed that one since you had to talk about it.

Good Friday at Gerroa turned out to be quite good, lots of sailors out and a few kiters. I counted about 20 sails at one stage with everyone enjoying up to half mast conditions with the odd bigger one in there. The wind was a bit patchy to begin with, I don't know about the other guys but I got worked a few times. Later in the arvo the wind filled in a bit, I was shagged by that stage and just sat back and had a Corona or 2 while watching the afternoon action.

.....Today was a good day

To me Gerroa will now always be known as "patchy". I don't remember it being as sketchy as it has been this season, maybe it's just me. Anyway there were some sweet bombs to be had and overall a good day. I saw a bit of carnage too, some huge wipeouts, at least 2 broken masts and I did an extension Water is beautiful atm too.

Well picked Stegs, Corrimal had a solid breeze. And waves! having made it out back in one piece I stayed there.

good to hear some of you got some fun time out on the water.

as I was stuck in the office trying to get things done before heading off to Maui for 5 weeks. I could only watch the action unfold on web cam.

any photos? just to rub it in?

Unusually the wind and waves were better down the beach. Some big sets, a couple nearly mast high between 2 & 3pm. Long peeling sets they began well out to sea were so much fun. I got a hoot from the surfers for hopefully doing something critical. Standout sailors were Doogs and Goey both on fanatic quads.
