Going? It's not!

Easterlies forecast for Wednesday, but they are never a sure thing, and finding a spot to get out is a challenge.

So the tables have turned it seems...

Mitch and I got a kite yesterday, of sorts, and Luka had a bob. Don't hold your breath for photographs.........

Clarky get yourself a passport and go to Marrawah they've had good conditions in the last month, it takes 3hr 8min to get there from Lonny, Hobart to Bell Buoy is 3hr. I know just how difficult an 8min drive can be, it's tough but then that's life. I guess the only real reason we go to Bell Buoy is because we love you and just can't stay away............................also love Greenie's attempts at forwards

Al, Will Short and I had a great blast at Droughy Pt. Rd. Looked a bit too SW for Cliffy. Anyone get a sail there?

It was definitely worth to drive to Marrawah yesterday ... Checked Greens, checked Bluff ... went back to Greens ... although waves were very small for west coast, I had a great time with long and scary fast down the line runs in waist high waves and very offshore wind ... Fully powered on 5.0, 4.5 would have been a better choice ...
Not to mention how beautiful weather and scenery were

Swell has dropped. Still a bit of size this morning, but now an inbetween swell on the mid tide(local surf talk=too big for beaches, not quite big enough for wedge) and dropping. You wouldn't want to be the useless prick that has a meeting with a guy that's over from Sydney for one day only, at 4pm today would you.......ffffffkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

That was the best sail I've had at Goats. I got some good long runs, a few 4 bottom turn runs and plenty of wind in the impact zone.....until buzzy went out.

Well looks like a Cliffy sail on Saturday high tides in the arvo so should entice that fickle southerly towards 18 knots that's my prediction, but it's not that hard to predict cause of the internet, technology, oh yeah Wednesday goats, but that's five days away.
If a high comes trough each week ,got to love it
I know Jordan can't get enough of the feeling.
