Mez Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 @Tiger37 has got the ball rolling with the thoughts of speed week and this week end, we came out of hibernation and over dinner, myself, @igeighty, @the_hatmanand @Bill had a chat. Tides and weather permitting we all thought that the weekend before or after the footy may be the go, when its not too busy, but looking at the tides, Friday 25th October has a good low tide mid afternoon. So the seed has been planted, have a look at your tide charts and your work calendar and pop a few suggestions down. @roblukin, @bakersdozen, @.Joel, @mik333, @DrWind, @OBEwan, @Clive, @nigel, @BobM, @Darren Tibbey, @The Duke, @cris italy Tiger37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mez Posted September 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 So should we look in a couple of days over that weekend? Friday 25th - Monday 28th October (So that the interstaters can make the most of it?) bakersdozen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mez Posted October 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Anyone still wanting to make this a weekend? So far, the weather is predicted to be dry that weekend with some light rain due on Sunday. If we don't camp, we will certainly try and make a day trip on the Saturday.

Tiger37 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Was hoping it might have been later (perhaps early Nov) as I’m still in the Flinders National Park bushwalking over that period. Hope it all goes well for you with good winds. Mez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the start of the season @Tiger37, so if you want to make a date in November, we will certainly make it down (its only a couple of hours for us, not a full days drive, and some!) Would be great to get out every weekend from now until Feb! Tiger37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mik333 Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Set up at Foster. Down to Sandy tomorrow for some sightseeing. Poor forecast with westerly winds (gales). Doesn't look good till after the weekend. I'll have to wait it out. Mez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he's heading down today (Friday) but we will all be at Sandy for sure on Saturday/Sunday (even if its just for a catch up and a land sail) See you over the weekend @mik333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igeighty Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Tipping down with rain, wind blowing 35-40knts straight down the beach. Heading home to watch a movie.

I'm gonna head in completely the opposite direction - up to Hattah for a couple of days.
