You guys are looking pretty solid this month - well ahead of all the Aussie teams anyway!

Hi Chris......

Very unusual for us to get sailable weather this time of year, almost summer wind patterns, very odd.

But we're getting cold toes doing it !

Hey Dan send me your file and I'll try and find the hour.

PS......Dan have you seen tomorrow's forecast, says morning almost gale nor east 30-50 kts ! Easing to 20kts pm.

No water in the estuary untl 3pm so will have to be the harbour.

You might have to bunk work and help us fix the mile tomorrow morning

Cheers,

          Mike

what time can we sail to on the estuary. Day break to when?

Not very big tides at the mo.......tomorrow is only 2.15metre high (seemed to be higher than that tonight) at 4.15am in the estuary,  so by sunrise (7.30am) would be getting pretty shallow, may be worth a try if you are desperate.Small fin would help.

We can only really improve on mile though so you would need to be up in the river mouth, and you need SE wind for that.

I'm (and Terry also) figuring to be on the harbour at low water (9.30am) so should be flatish, sea condition forecast is for very rough for tomorrow

Great going guys.

Where is all the Snow? Few weeks from middle of winter & you hardy Southern folk should not be out on the water at this time of the year!

Today up here in Auckland there was some wind....too much rain for sailing!

Snow. no sign of any yet, maybe this weekend. Hey mike there's always brooklands too. 50 knots in there and im sure we'd post some real speeds

Nor east tho' would it get over the bank?

again low water with the wind so same prob for Brooklands?

solid distance guys!

Hi Neil,

           welcome back. I'll bet you're figuring how to make that trip an annual thing?

Will call tomorrow re picking up the goodies.

Yep, the distance was ok for this time of year and surprisingly hard work mainly due to dehydration. We both lost a couple of kilos (just like a big bike ride) and sure felt it the next day.

When we do this again have to take a camelbak.

After the session next morning I was totalled and had to go home and have a nanna nap afterwards.

Getting old !
