Boggy Lake

I sailed the original Boggy yesterday. It is as good if not better than before. The rigging up area has built up and extended out into the lake resulting in a large area that slopes gently down to the water and there now is about a 30m length of sloping grassed area that you step into the water from. While it is a bit sandy it will be good when the grass covers up a bit more. There is nothing to worry about with the fence or clumps of weed in the lake. We tied a buoy to the last fence post so its pretty easy to go around. The areas of weed are not enough to grab your fin and overall there is probably less weed than previously.
The speed strip on the other side is on again as the water is nearly up to the top of the bank and is waist to chest deep about 20m out.
The lake is neck deep in the middle and with a 360 fin you can sail from about 20m out from the launching area. The bottom is hard for at least 40m out.
I will be sailing there from now on. If anyone wants to ring me my mobile is 0403477631

Tim you would probably leave the new area for rigging, not for parking cars. There is plenty of room for parking and turning as before, you will just need to be careful. The new area is probably a bit too sandy for conventional drive cars until the grass grows over. The whole area has been raised by about 500mm. It really is worth going back there. Geoff

Not much wind but a good direction for saturday.

Looks like we will get some wind on saturday...I will be there.

Boggy I is back.

While the optimistic few were there early saturday morning, their patience was rewarded around the 3pm mark, where Boggy put on some sterling 6+metre sailing. Some weed visible on the surface when the wind rose, but I didn't really get hampered by it, seems Carl was picking it all up for me.

Great to sail the old favourite again, it's a far superior launch site to BoggyII, and hopefully will get even better as the grass expands, and daylight savings/sunny-day afternoon sea breezes become the norm. Bring it on.
