With a fairly serious forecast where are we going to go? - who's got enough sick pay to come?

Port Sorell is looking to be around 30 knots west at low tide...

Stanley over 30 knots SW at low tide

All off windalert...

Dont know where were going to go but whos keen?

Might sail Montagu Thursday morning. Keen to get back there for a Nm.

Low tide will be about 11.30 am, had a look there on Sunday but not enough wind.

The water was nice and clear so it was easy to see the depth.

Friday is also looking windy

Al and I will sail bellbouy or low head during the day. Plan to fit in a sail during school hours, so 10 to 2 pm

Good luck cookie, I still think montagu has a lot of potential for a high speed back leg burning nautical mile

Probably Stanley for me, if its SW or more west. If its SSW might go the extra distance to Montagu. Keep me posted on the direction there please, Cookie.
Friday, Saturday also a good chance for Stanley.

Looks like plenty of wind forecast and I've had to park the harvester up until the weather comes good off to Stanley tomorrow.
Too much W in it for Montagu unless you want a big walk or take a boat out past the crossing Cookie

There will be a few others at Bellbuoy I suspect too - they shall however remain nameless, in order to protect their guilt...I mean innocence

Seriously windy at Bellbouy today.
We all left the water when it started blowing over 40 knots, but it is gusting up to 45 knots, according to BOM, when I last checked.
Geoff, the unnamed sailor, Mitch, Al and I where on the water, using tiny 3.7 sails and still overpowered. There was a building swell with 2ft in the west corner and half mast in the middle of the bay. Sunny, warm and windy. Very Good Sail. ! and good early start to the weekend.
The camera battery ran out early so may not have a picture worth posting, but will see when its recharged.
