WindWanderers May Meet (no pun intended)

Howdy , although we missed the session at woomin we got a great sail in on the other side of the island. Some nice swell working its way through too. Only thing that was slightly worrying, Kurt and Dave saw a couple of sharks cruising around i was to busy trying to hold on for dear life as i was massively overpowered to notice anything. Really good runs 2-3 k only turned around becuase i was getting bored. Great shots, Bribie really suprised me cant wait to get back there.

On another note has anyone sailed Yamba recently? does it work in a SE???

Vando, is that a shallower patch right out where you are gybing?

Hi Derek,

an incoming tide moves south at woorim. in a SE'r we would go to bongaree if it was an outgoing tide and go to the lookout if it was an incoming tide. that way you get wind against tide.

so in summer you would want the opposite. with a NE wind outgoing tide would be the go at woorim.

i have never sailed there in a NE wind. the swell is bigger though as it is ocean swell (no moreton island) SE is bay swell. in a big blow the SE swell gets big though.

in a NE wind we would go to a spot in the passage that cranks due to a funnel effect.

we definitely need a bbq. there are a few spots that don't have one and a couple where the bbq's are away from the waters edge. i've added it to the shopping list.

thanks Justin for the info, I haven't figured out how to use the quote bits on here so people reading this will have to use their imagination

nice pics is that guy using a twinster

it's the skate. by the looks of swoosh on the water a very sweet ride.
