OCEANBLUE64 some of my fastest runs were at rye. If you windsurf in front of the first sand bar near the pier in a NE, N wind you can get some real good speed runs. Its as flat as sandy point. It is such a buzz sailing 30 knots heading straight for the pier. One problem tho its illegal cause there is a 5 knots speed limit there. The ranger told me off twice for sailing there. The ranger said I was too dam fast. You will probly see me have another crack at it tomorrow. When the ranger is not looking.

I can only dream of sailing at 30 knots let along having to stop before hitting a pier!!

Hey Kona

You must have had divine intervention to make it as flat as The Pit.

The early bird catches the wind @ Rye! or that is what I am hoping I would be going later if it wasn't for the fact my wife has a baby scan tomorrow arvo and if I am late I don't think I will ever get out again!

You've got NO IDEA Roso - it gets worse from here on in, MUCH worse! I made the classic mistake of finding a sport I really enjoy, buying the kit last November, sailing all summer (badly, but sailing all the same) and then hitting the babymaking jackpot earlier this year. Some kind of anti-windsurfing hormone kicks in at about 20 weeks - just after the main scan - and it gets more and more vindictive as time wears on. That space where you keep your gear...now reserved for prams/buggies. That grand you had salted away for a new top end carbon mast....nursery fees mate. My advice - attend the scan - say all the right things and then get as much sailing in as you can before the next one. Cos you never know when the last one might be (according to my missus).

Should form a new lobby group against this discrimination
- Windsurfing Potential New Fathers Anonymous. Couldn't think of an acronmym - sure my missus could though.

Hmmm.

Looking out the window here in Mordialloc and it appears to be picking up. Just looked at BOM observations for Moorabin and it's blowing 16-23 knots (www.bom.gov.au/products/IDV60801/IDV60801.94870.shtml). Looking at the trees that looks about right some of the time, but there are some big holes.
