Hopefully Huey does not leave us equally long suffering northerners in the lurch this weekend...

If you are surprised at this, you should consider yourself a slow learner.

Just what DOES 100% mean?

Appleman - you lucky devil. It looks like you are going to get some beautiful weather down there...

At the moment I am planning to head up to the north coast around midday tomorrow - probably to Bellbuoy.

I am hoping for a beautiful still day too, for a quiet walk on the beach, in dead calm weather, next to clear, calm water. I am going to invite all my friends, and if they can both make it, it would be really CRAP if the wind picked up and ruined our picnic - that would be the worst thing EVER.

I just can't wait for a beautiful, peaceful, tranquil, relaxing, snoozy day at the beach...from about midday on...wink, wink!

I might even do the same on Sunday.

Correct Martyj4 - I'll be the sanctimonious looking dullard with the vacuous grin and vacant expression, wandering alone and aimlessly along the coast (because neither of my friends could make it).

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink...

Bah, ha, ha, ha... Drama, action, excitement...romance? We are going to have to do something about recruitment if 'windy walks' are ever going to take off.

It has just hit 20 on the coast, but the tide is inbound. Forecast is looking good for a few hours from now.

See you ALL up there!

Come one, come all

Sorry clarke. Devo has picked up so I'll sail here. Long way to go to low head when it's OK here. Thanks for the heads up.

Snoozers!

Not a bad few hours in the H2O. Two of us here. Me a Geel, going head to head, matching move with move, just like a Traversa / Koster final in Pozo - too close to call.

The sport was the real winner.

Found something else cold and frosty to do. An overnight -10 in the Walls of Jerusalem, but we will be there tomorrow.

Don't know Luka - currently on peak tide, so if you wanted to hit the water now - East Beach.

If you can wait an hour or two - Bellbuoy

Is the wind going to stick around - who knows?

Tough call, but I am thinking give the tide an hour or two to get off the top and then hit BB.

HUEY STRIKES AGAIN! Someone really needs to get this guy's address, and send the heavies around.

I decided to brave the high tide and hit the water early-ish and got about two hours on the water, not great conditions, not 'nice' sailing, but plenty of wind - overpowered on 4.2 - and some sizeable rollers.

Jason hit the water with a 4.5 just in time to get 'skunked'.
Giel hit the water with a 6.2 just in time to get 'skunked' (15 minutes after Jason).

I have decided - I HATE EL NINO!
