Robe

Seems to be Divaldo.... i'll be keeping my fingers crossed nothing happens to it while his away.

Yeah his staying down there.. you'll be camp site buddies.

He is sleeping in his car.. hence why his leaving me at home.

I tried to book earlier but the 3rd ramp info centre must have been unattended... that little round building down there is the office isn't it?
Flat white... I'll have the billy on mate. Your cup might have a bit of sand and dirt in it and the milk will most likely have been left in the sun for a day or 2 but you'll get your flat white...ish.
See ya there ladies. Don't forget your goose down quilt, imported silk robes and fluffy slippers.

Oh boy, I'm really in trouble, I like lattes AND chardonnay

I'd be bringing some surfing gear - 7 day forecast could be a bit better - the cricket match may be a definite alternative to water activities - fingers crossed things change a bit.

EDIT SEE Saturday SE forecast

South East Coast:
Tuesday until midnight : Wind: SW/SE 13/18 knots becoming S/SE 10/15 knots during the evening. Sea: 0.5 to 1 m. Swell: S/SW 2.5 to 3.5 m.
Wednesday : Wind: S/SE 10/15 knots becoming SW/SE 3/8 knots during the morning then becoming S/SE 10/15 knots during the afternoon. Sea: to 1 m. Swell: S/SW 2.5 to 3.5 m decreasing to 1.5 to 2.5 m.
Thursday : Wind: SE/NE 5/10 knots turning NE/NW 5/10 knots during the morning then variable 5/10 knots in the afternoon except south of Cape Jaffa where winds will be W/NW 5/15 knots.
Friday : Wind: SW/NW 5/15 knots shifting S/SE 10/20 knots from the south after sunrise.

I think if there is no wind the gargleblaster challenge might have to be implemented.....but seriously with or without wind it is always a great weekend and a good chance to meet crew get to know everyone !!!

2 days to go!! Yippy yeah...

Dont forget if you are staying in a rental house, you need to take bedding stuff, eg pillow and sleeping bags... Most houses have nothing on the beds...

And dont forget to pack your winter woolies, its going to be cold at night!!!

Check out the forecast for perth over the easter break if you really want to get depressed

Seriously Stewie, what gets you up at 5am?

anyone notice the wind forecast the day after Robe!!

Why couldnt this have happened a few days earlier?

Still had a tops weekend though, big big big thanks to Onboard for all of their efforts, Brett and Stuey put on a great show. Was good to hang out on the beach with the usual suspects, have a few beers, surf a bit, laugh at the kiters trying to kill each other ( I am glad we didnt organise the cricket game with them, they would have used their catapult to bowl the ball, and most probably would have killed some one!)
Highlights for the weekend was the weather, although totally devoid of wind, how good was it to get 4 days of pure Robe perfection?
Also special mention to all the windsurfing crew, truelly the nicest people in the world!

A few questions?
1. Where did Muzza and Brett go?
2. Will kiters ever grow up and become adults?
3. How did I win 'another' sail in a raffle? (Thanks ONBOARD cha ching!)
4. How can beers at the bowling club cost $3.50 and next door at the Caledonian, the same beer costs $7.00?
5. What was in the kiters Red Bulls to make them run around with headless brown snakes and jump off sand dunes while running and hugging each other?
6. Why is my 4WD still able to get bogged....twice?
7. What happened to the power on Monday morning....was it a kiter stunt gone wrong? lines on the lines?
8. Why does it upset me when walking down the main st of Robe all you here is middle aged blondies asking confused cafe owners for 'triple shot decaf soy chi lattes with a twist of lemon on the side' FFS!!!!!!!

See you all in May for the 'May Wave Sailing Comp' (date to be confirmed - called a few days prior to get best conditions) - I will be the one with the shiny new 4.7 Alpha :)

Hi Dave,
I left Friday arvo. No wind to look forward to so I went home to my lovely wife and kids. Spent a day a Cleland Wildlife Park and had a great few days with the family. Its pretty rare for us to get a weekend together, so I took advantage of the bad conditions and the weekend off.
My early departure had nothing to do with the killer hangover/smoke inhalation from Thursday nights effort... thanks Chris, I will get you back![}:)]
I'm definitely looking forward to May's wavesailing comp... along with some wind and waves.
Catch ya soon
Muzza

I dont think you'll need to spend to much time training on the drinking Stewie, maybe more time spent training to become an adult would be more productive.

Ahmmmmmmf.....now let me think......who was that I saw digging the kids hole in the sand deeper????? You know, the one filled with salt water.

By the way what are Jamies boys names? I think they were in the surfing comp, cos I got some great photos.

Hang on, thinking thinking.....leave it with me

Yes it was definitely a windsurfer...
