Roberto was out of control jumping on his 4.7 - I was getting my arms stretched with 4m up - only managed a couple of runs - was way too strong - didn't notice if it was cold

Saw you waving us out george - rob will be pleased you got pics

nice effort. that's wild.

I got out at Q'cliff but it was prob SSW. 35K gusts at least. cut my chin (at least 3 stitches) - bleeding everywhere so packed it in.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more sensible. Shot number two looks good though. Can you give us a morning report George?

Depends when the baby decides to arrive in the world. If I'm around I will post a quick report.

Good one George,
Sore body tonight, lump on my head and fat lip. got out of it better than Tomp though!
Looked at my 4m sail in shed and said " no won't need that".
Hopefully tomorrow will be a little less out of control but the swell is going to be huge by then.
All the best to Mel and you on arrival of number 2.
Cheers
Rob

Hey fake Boris, don't try to imitate perfection!
A 'Borris' that needs a double 'r', is obviously compensating for the lack of something else.
But I don't blame you for using my photo. I am a very handsome specimen. I am happy to share my genetic gifts with you if it brings joy to your life.

Sincerely,
Boris (one 'r', three nuts!)

Wind looks around 30kts. Slightly overcast. My guess is it will go to 40kts again later. Havent seen surf yet

Plenty of swell now, and still building.
Wind is cranking.
Time to go out.

Manly the last 4 months - but had a job offer in Berri recently. I am on my way to TAsmania in a couple of days - as long as I can sort everything. I think I saw you out sailing at a point in Thiroul area on a point 2 weeks ago?

No, not me, I usually sail around Warilla. I sometimes go up north of the gong but not often.
Probably Carl
