Probably need to stay on goldcoast Thursday, but I'm up for Viccy point Friday if you guys are interested in going there?
Does Shearwater have the right tide for the weekend?
Wouldnt mind going down there and watching ya rip it up haircut
not sure i'd call it ripping
tide is wrong way for sw next few days which is why i thought viccy p would be the go
bugger, i wanna try it some time.
I think ill stick to manly for the short trip then, vp doesnt seem to have anything that manly doesnt.
hi scotf, are you the guy with the silver ute who watched me (local bloke - sailing jurasic type gear) rig up and be test pilot a couple of weeks ago during severe rain squalls.
i'll be at queens hopefully all afternoon if childminding arrangements remain in place, 4.7 loooking good at the moment, so does the tide, low around 2 ish and incomming during afternoon i'm hoping will produce some good ramps consdidering the sth easter is building from thurs afternoon
Does Scully want a speed board ??
I have a very cool high-wind slalom, Wind Tech 808 tahat I don't really need and would long term loan, if you want it.
Scully you can have this if you want it, its old and glsss but I'm sure its fast . I can even deliver i to vp next week as I'll be down that way
p.s
minus front deck pads plus 29cm tuttle fin, I'm a touch shy of 80kg and have sailed it with a 5.1 in 25kts and a 4.0 in 30 -40 kts send a pm if you want it, no strings attached
I will go where the people are. Sounds like Queens might be the go. Hopefully today is day 1 of many in a row Looks like the wind is already starting to build.

. I don't have much luck with trips to redcliff and it seems the boms observation reading suffers from number bloat because the observations say it got at least 5 knots more than what i really had on the days. i'll head up again when it's a sure thing some time
Select to expand quoteSo, is that Queens Esplanade at Manly ?
Nah. Head to Redcliffe and keep driving. Stop just short of Scarborough
I'm heading off now
BTW HC, It's already up to 25kts.. Is that not enuf
2nd that hairy,
the redy graph definitely reads 5-7 knots higher than the actual. unless you go more than 500 meters from the beach, then it's a closer reading.
i'll always do sutton's over queens in a SE wind. Queens is the bomb during a N-NE wind though. 
forecast looks awesome! VP for me i haven't sailed for weeks. 
I was fully powered to overpowered in fairly consistent winds for the whole time I was out so no complaints from me. But then again, I don't go to queens often so maybe I was lucky. Nice to get on the water anyways. Looking forward to the next weeks or so of wind. Where to sail next... hmmm
Sailed Queens beach Redcliffe for one and half hours today in an extended lunch break. It was awesome - solid 5.5m stuff with no holes and nice smoothe 1 metre swells out the back. I only go Suttons when there is too much south in the wind. I have sailed all over Moreton Bay and Queens is the spot for me - no issues with tides, no crowds, no mud, plenty of grass and just plain easy.
well said dr gas,
might even be down the next few days with gear less grommets as childminding arrangement is still holding up
would be nice if the rain dissappears for awhile
^ tis a nice spot for sure.
sutton's just noses ahead for me in a SE because of wave riding (if you can call it that). further south at margate is similar but a lot more reefs.
