Seabreeze is forecasting 20+ knots again on sunday. Samsonvale is racing, but its a marathon race up and down the lake and down some of the river areas of the lake not usually sailed on for general racing, sounds like it could be fun. I think all coastal waters are going to be blown out again. Heres the notice of race for Samsonvale:
David Bosley: "KNOCK KNOCK "Who's there?" "Ray" "Ray who?" “Ray Sing at Samsonvale next weekend!!”
Sorry about that - had a great day out with our grandsons at Conondale Ranges & still not out of 5 & 6 YO mode - “ I spy with my little eye” Ooops, back to the matter in hand!
Attached is the NOR for next Sunday's race – the first marathon we have been able to hold for about 3 years.
The marathon is quite different from our normal competitions;
* There is only one race on the day. * Instead of being a combination of triangles & sausages around A, B, C & possibly H marks the marathon is much more free-form & takes us up the lower reaches of the North Pine River i.e. Past “B” mark & “round the bend” into the river & then takes us as far to the Western end of the lake as water depth will allow. * Because of the above we get to see much more of the lake & its surrounds than many of our members will have seen previously. * Because of the free-form nature of the course the sailing can be very varied & hence really interesting.
This is a fantastic opportunity to visit those places you can’t normally reach. So come along & have a great day.
