looking ahead to the weekend of the 12-13th for our winter meet. long range shows an outside chance so if it doesn't happen we will look to the following weekend.
sweet, we will see how the weather plays out.
the long range models are indicating an upper trough (i think) wedged between to highs.
usually with that setup the predictions change daily. 
i was shocked too glen! everyone should sail wello in a westerly at least once.
my gut feel is though that it won't be the weekend of the 12-13th. forecasts are pointing towards a very large high starting to dominate things with SE winds.
i'm currently looking into a plan b just in case.
unfortunately shearwater has the wrong tide
on the table are.
suttons, VP or the train as a just in case plan but wello is the goal.
this weekend is not looking like a goer for wello westerlies and the foecast is for 15 knots or so.
the following weekend is looking very nice though for wello, it's an early call but i would suggest we are more than likely going to postpone to the following weekend. i will update around thu/fri
You should move the meet to green island this weekend, looks like a ripper,
25+kts and 26+degrees
So does SW work best with out going tide or is the wind against tide effect which works best
Never sailed there although rigged a 4.4 late after work once only to have the wind drop back to 15-20kn
i must have buggered up the dates with the tide......
if the forecast stays put shearwatrer or redcliffe are the best options as they aren't a problem at low tides.
we just need the forecast to stay put!
I'm quite keen, and Shearwater is obviously not too far for me too.
Really depends on if the forecast holds up or does it's familiar dead cockroach trick.
i'm leaning towards shearwater also, the wanderers haven't had a meet there yet and it's been a while since we've headed to the goldy.
Sooooo.....
the day we are looking to hold the meet will be Sunday.
Location - Shearwater.
final call tomorrow arvo once forecast has firmed up.
emails will be sent out tonight and notice posted in this thread.
happy winds.....
JB
