Russ, which BOM maps are you looking at. The only ones i know show red as over 60knots?

The same map its actually orange looking at the big screen - but it is no longer orange its back to green and blue. www.bom.gov.au/australia/charts/viewer/index.shtml?type=windbarb&level=10m&tz=AEDT&area=Au&model=CG&chartSubmit=Refresh+Vie
wchecked it on my I phone - was going to copy the map and paste and now its completely different on my desk top

My bad - or the BOM is messing with my head - or I was willing wind and waves - must be going loopy-er

Thanks Russ, yep one of the same maps i look at.

Nothing wrong with going loopy, as long as its forward loopy, or back loopy

Hopefully there is still swell on Sunday. Where was everybody last Saturday arvo? 15 knots, Half mast and just me and Scotty Mac out. Awesome glug session.

Anyone hopeful of a sail tomorrow morn - might head down earlyish -

if its small and a bit offshore was thinking of heading down towards the mouth if others were keen - low tide at 12ish

Judging by the forecast I'll be at Goolwa; will be a bit of a splash and dash session because I did some damage to my back muscles last time I saw you at Sellicks. That'll teach me not to sail for 2.5 hours straight! Plus it's going to be a scorcher!

PS: Surprised your not chasing that Dream sailing session at Waits? Might be a bit too punchy!
