Ocean or Lake?

Nothing real flat in the ocean in a SW, but Seacliff is a great spot in this direction, in front of the caravan park,

We used to sail a bit in Goolwa Lake, was always fun in a SW,

Boggy lake sail over to the other side for flat water along the reed islands. Sailed there yesterday afternoon had some nice flat sections and even in the middle the chop was very small.

Will be sailing there again this afternoon and Wednesday, Thursday Friday as the forcast looks good all week

Last night ended up sunny & Krancking at Sellicks with some ankle slapper to bare away on -

Wet and miserable - my wife just sent photos of our house - 54 mm rain since 0500 (Noarlunga) and we have rivers down the driveway and across the lawns - nothing inside yet

I'll see you at sellicks / mid for a sail (Im bringing my 4.3 mm wetsuit) around 4 Chris

Middle of the beach, between both ramps,

Button road if you want to google it, best place for wind as well, as thi is where the wnd tends to 'funnel' down the beach,

respect the locals

Unfortunately the wind will be gone down there by the weekend Luke. Fortunately illness can come on at the most appropriate times.

Thanks Bondy,

Yeah, its funny how my frequent illness is linked to little green arrows!

Was going to try sems tomorrow arvo but will play it by ear as the predicted constant 20+ kts has been consistently inconsistent!
