Forecast saids Bell Buoy 20 to 30 knots on Friday

If the forecast holds Dad Tim and I will be at Bell Buoy at 11.00. Brett and Houston will be there at the same time. I think Relic has got a spare space if anyone's interested?
God bless and goodnight

The depleting Northern wave sailing crew welcome the Southern commute to Bell Buoy......Except for the one who calls himself "The Ant". He will need a graduation certificate 1 in excellence for forward looping signed by either G. Clark or Gem Hall in order to sail the pristine conditions the North has to offer

And also because Houston cant jump and his name was mentioned

Yes, was a terrible sail up there for everyone last time I went. It took me a long time to recover from injuries and illness last year(boo hoo poor me) and it certainly put me in a bad head space. Actually I think I'm sailing worse now than I did about 10 years ago. Thanks for pointing that out. Now I remember how crap I felt driving away from Bell Buoy last time You can always rely on your mates to support, pick you up and then tear you back down into little pieces again.

So, as you are presuming I'm in the A team, does this mean I'm not allowed to come up on Friday? I was trying to organise to be part of the B team!

Here is an extract from the Southern selection criteria and Rules:

A Team: Those southern sailors that would love to, but are unable to attend road trips due to the forecast falling on days Mon-Fri.
B Team: Those sailors that have flexibility to attend road trips during Mon-Fri.
C Team: Sailors having a road trip on a weekend.

Rule 1A: Under no circumstances should B team sailors make inflated claims without video evidence to back up the claim. Photos will not be accepted as proof.
Rule 2A: On demand, local sailors can request a signed certificate from Jem Hall or G Clark. Before either A or B team sailors can enter the carpark.
Rule 3A: Rule 2A does not apply on public holidays.
Rule 4A: Under no circumstances shall B team sailors ridicule A team sailors to make themselves feel better.
Rule 5A: A Backloop attempt will be classified as just an upwind f#@ked up jump unless landed and sailed away from.
Rule 6A: No rules apply for C team

Oh goody, I'm on the "A" team. You also forgot to put that the "A" team also includes representing Tassie in events outside of Tasmania.

How depressing, I have just realised that -

- I have done about 1000+ upwind f#@ked up jumps over the past few years - according to Rule 5A
- I am on the C team - according to the definition
- I have been relegated to 'paper-pusher' - as noted in Rule 2A

At least no rules apply to me, since I am on the C team....... Hang on, does that include all of the above? And if no rules apply to me, does that mean that Rule 6A: No rules apply to C team, also doesn't apply to me?

Damn - I thought I had it all worked out too. You guys are messing with my head!

GFN's. Yes forecast has dropped by 5 knots. Should still be good though. Every forecast of late and the past has been 6-10 knots over predicted, 25-30 knot forecast dropping to 20-25 will normally mean you'll need a 4.5 in the afternoon. The last 15-25 knot forecast last weekend and many times before brought on overpowered conditions on a 4.0m. We'll keep you updated on Thursday / Friday morning as to what the conditions are like

Not so hard on the mast if your body breaks first though.

Always look on the bright side - 'Wow, my body is broken in 6 places...but thank goodness my mast is still in one piece!'
