Hi Jimbob,
How should the weed situation be on the lake for october weekend? Is it worth organising weed fins or are they letting some sea water in?
Looking forward to it - hope to catch you then.
Cheers.
Carl the water level is coming up fairly quickly and should be full by the longweekend. you won't need a weedy, the lake has not been opened to the sea this winter, bool lagoon 100k's up is full and flowing down drain M into lake george so all fresh water filling it up, the drain to the sea is called the outlet for a reason it was origanlly there to let the water out, last time bool overflowed (early 2000's)the lake was at bursting and covered the road well before the 5 mile drift, this time they tryed to divert this water down a new 7 millin dollar drain to the top of the coorong but ha ha it didn't work. 
you guys camping will you need some wood ?.
i am on night shift for the event still trying to get someone to work for me but nobody seems to want to do nights for me.
Sounds good Jimbob
. Hope you can be there. We will be camping - will bring some wood with us - can't wait.
Im booked into the spit......might have to get there early to get a good spot 
, Hey jimbob, can the kids ride there motos around the spit area, or do the local law enforcement frown upon this....? 5 th time down to beachport in the last year and hopefully i get a sail this time 
(i'll take the SUP just in case though).

Well then, the kids will be happy with that! so is anything planned for the long weekend comp wise?
I think we are looking at heading down that way for the Long Weekend....
Is the spit the best area to camp or is the sailing from 3 and 5 mile drift just as good?
I assume it is a must to bring your own wood?
jamdfinger the land from the gate and out the spit is private owned they let us sailand camp there because they are good blokes, you will need your own wood as you can not be cutting down the trees there, last year I supplied a trailer of wood i will see what I can do this time, the sailing is just as good of the 5mile I still sailout of there a lot its just no good with west in the wind where as the spit is out the middle of both lakes so has all wind directions covered., I will take some photo's a couple weeks before and post here so you all can see the water level and conditions, we are having heaps of rain here so water won't be a problem. looks like i'm stuck on nights all weekend can't get anyone to do my shifts as the afl grandfinal is on as well, still will be out sailing in the arvos just won't be drinking a bundy around the fire after.
Divaldo we will have to catch up after maui trip, you would have worn out the sup here the last couple weeks been perfect for supping with very clean waves and light offshore.

Thanks Jamie, Might have to tell the kids to leave the moto's at home, im sure there will be a revolt.....anyway would be good to get out on the lake, still hangen to do more than paddle on a SUP out there....
Sat is looking good Jimbo, might have to come across for a bit of flat water bliss
Cool, I finish nights that morning will be there lunch time, last Sunday was good.
Jimbob you have huge Northerly this Saturday then a huge SW Tuesday for Lake George. I might consider a drive up Monday for the Tuesday if forecast holds!
Later:-)
ps - Going tomorrow and staying overnight at Boggy Lake as I'm planning to do a major distance day either Friday and or Sat as the forecast N to NE is a perfect direction.
I will take some tommorrow dave, have you used your missile yet.
sorry a bit late for you dave, ( why isn't there a crying or teary emotion )
Nearly thought of getting the teabag gear out of the trailer myself.
wow, she's come up abit, how easy is it to drive on the dune road(2 wheel drive)? and have the weed bombies gone?
Team "JIMBOB"
Style, "GUESS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT"
Great day, tea baggers had the best of it from 8am to 11am NNE 25 > 29 knots, ideal for speed runs along the spit.
Team Jimbob showed up at 11, the wind dropped back to around 18 > 20.hehehe.
I think Jamie had a 30" fin and he was able to get pretty close to the edge.
No problem getting to the spit as long as you don't have a lowered SS Commodore.
TEAM JIMBOB HAS FINALLY SEEN THE LIGHT AND IS CROSSING TO THE DARK SIDE . (on those light days).
thanks for the Photos Guys, looks like you had an awsome day, this is what it looked like last time I was there with the family a couple of months ago on the spit for a couple of days.....
great work Jamie and Grumpy, is that the trusty 5.0 Jamie?
great photies!
I took some footage today of U-Turns, will edit something up in the morning, was a very windy day with zero waves, so not that exciting, bit of kit broken though :)
See you in october,
dave the sail was my 5.8 is the same year and colour as the trusty 5.0 I bought of you. if it was 5.0 wind would have been on the missile for sure. be good to catch up on the long weekend but i'm on night shift so wil only be around sailing in the afternoons.
