Hi Folks,

Christmas is coming! So we are getting in early and booking your calender for our December social day before somebody else does.

For December we are back at Lake Weyba. New members to the club will appreciate how good this venue is for parking and rigging space. The only catch is the lack of toliets.

We are also making this our Xmas get together and break up so stay tuned for plans of the day. Allow a little more time into early evening to have a BBQ and Beer late in day.

Friends and family are welcome as always. And bringing along somebody that is wanting to just have a go is always encouraged.

Hopefully the winds gods will just us a good breeze.

Cheers

WindWanderers

General question - how do we go for depth at Lake Weyba? If I'm on 45cm fin am I going to hit the bottom?

Only sailed there once, but after a 100m walk depth is fine for that length fin.

From the thread on Windwanders
Looks like
Sat = Morgan
Sun = brad and Jeff

Tough call?
Other candidates = preferences or any day ok?

Cheers Jeff

It is a tough call ! Given it is not clear to move to Saturday and some folks already have commitments Saturday nite, I propose we stay with Sunday.

We will have a Toliet at the lake.

If club members would like to nominate if they would like to bring something to share for our club Xmas day lunch it will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

At this stage the forecast looks like the wind could be any strength from any direction on Sunday. Who's coming?

Think Morgan's JetSki and wakeboard could be fun if there is no wind! Hint hint!

I'm up here in Noosa for the week from Sydney - unfortunately without gear.
Any chance I could join in on Sunday?

Was interesting tweaking the set ups and having a sail on the big learner boards...big difference between the Green and Blue one!

It's pretty hard for learners to push their progression when the wind isn't consistently co operating, but there is massive improvement from all that I saw!

Highlight of the day was Jeff's 'lay down' gybe...he 'literally' took the laydown seriously,

Had time of my life yesterday

Must admit I felt anxiety turning up with a new board - again!!!

Sailed on one board one sail all day - got to be happy with that

Jonesy taking my board for a run was reassuring for me when he reported the setup was very close to trim

Sailing with a friendly gang was a joy - had some long runs with more experienced sailors. I'm not as fast a Pete and Jonesy - always next year

Weyba really delivered - wind was gusty at times, less chop in the middle compared to Cootharaba and Bribie passage


"Lay down gybe". - yes - must remember to loosen the foot in the strap first. I'm off to X-ray today after a very long night with a throbbing foot

Disasterous trip home...

When I got a FLYING OBJECTS board bag little did I realise...




I'll post the story in another thread - minimal damage

So only a little hiccup to a a very memorable day

Thanks everybody a great time

Cheers Jeff
