Looking pretty good for 1pm Sunday - NNW at 20-25 knots. Looking even better for Monday at the same time - pushing 30 knots.

The best thing about Melbourne downwinders on a honking northerly is how safe they are. We're never more than 1km from shore, usually 500metres or so.

Unless PT you slip past Ricketts and end up in Mornington, Frankston Or even Portsea in which case you could easily be 20 KM off.
I will try to make 1 of the 2, Kiddys permitting

Let me know which one you can go to Dave, and I'll come over and pinch your SIC F18 for the other one ! Nah, just kidding... I'm booked out for both... B'Day party and Work.

I'd be happy to pick you up from the airport and back again if you don't mind being squashed in a little black zook.. Also I have a board for you to use if you don't mind Naish (14 or 17) and also a paddle if you don't mind Kialoa (Methane or Methane)

You won't need a wettie.. Melbourne's warm this time of year.

Okay so tomorrow is on. We should get anywhere from 15 - 25 knots. Meet at Sandringham at 10am. We may take our time getting going as the forecast is for stronger winds the later we wait. So allow plenty of time.
