AU Seven Mile 17-23 Dec 2014

[BobM]

I've just gone and provoked the wind gods by booking a cabin at Mountain View Caravan Park from Wednesday the 17th of December through to Tuesday 23 December.

 

I need to remember how to buggy as I can't recall a session since Kingston in January

 

Any one is free to join me at the beach

Hi Bob,

Hope your well mate, I know exactly what you mean by remembering how to buggy.

Believe me it comes back very quickly, when we went to Windang a few weeks back, it was blowin' and I was apprehensive.

Took off gingerly for a few hundred metres till Andrew's kite collided with mine, sorted that out and continued cautiously

for a few more hundred metres, then the wind direction became more onshore than downwind, the speed increased quite quickly

the grin of exhileration hit the jaw bone and before you knew the crazypilot syndrome had hit,

launching of the rolling dune tips and racing G-man when he came near.

Remembered very quickly why I love it sooooo much.

I'm very sure mate if the winds blowin there be at least 3-5 of us coming

I will try and make it even if I can only get down for a day or two. I will be back in Canberra after my six weeks in WA at the end of this week.

Bob,

Back in Canberra. Have to take my caravan to Nowra for repairs on 17 Dec so will try and join you at Shoalhaven Heads late morning if the weather is looking good.

[BobM]

Not sure what time I'll be getting away from Canberra, I have visit to the Dentist that morning, followed by a skate session at Tuggeranong Basketball stadium. I hope to be leaving by 12:30.

Thank God, I read this again or otherwise I would have been heading down this weekend in the thunderstorms and praying not to become a human lightning rod

Cya next weekend and hopefully better weather

Nope, not the weekend of the 13th/14th either, but the one following that - the 20th/ 21st of December

[jdhot]

Thank Bob, just thought 10 days to go and forgot what day it was - doing to much of that dredded thing work!

can still remember when I was the 7 mile beach bum, nearly everyday

cya

on the right weekend if not earlier

JD

PS, is there any other NSW guys think of coming

[Tiger37]

Bob and all,

Still taking my caravan to Nowra tomorrow for a service and repairs, so will take the buggy and kites and drive out to Shoalhaven Heads late morning. Winds looking as though they may be southerly but lets wait and see. I cannot make it again till Sun, but if conditions are good I will head down again and meet you guys there.

Dropped off my caravan in Nowra and got to 7 Mile Beach half an hour after low tide. Onshore wind about 12 knots; Sysmic S2; 9m Peak, first time in the buggy for months, BLISS - 2 great runs all the way up to Gerroa and back then the wind began to turn more southerly so headed back to pick up the van and drive home. Will definitely try to join you on Sunday if conditions are good - and they are looking good on predictions!
