Hi Gordon,
Yes, I got an email from Andrew this afternoon.
Whilst things change, the BOM has been forecasting 30knots or more for Sat for the last three or four forecasts. It's a long way to travel for some to end up not sailing so I think it's a wise call.
Cheers
Hey Simon,
it's not just the 30 knot winds

. South westerly direction, heavy rain and snow down to 500m

, makes it sound like it would not be beach weather, even at sunny McCrae

. After all, I only go to McCrae for the beach and the scenery

.
Hi Gary, Southwesterly = no shore break

Heavy rain..get all that salt off the rig

Snow to 500m...we're at seal level so we should be safe but if not, that's what beenies are for

30knots... raced in worse at McCrae

Sounds like a lovely weekend to me!.. If the wind lightens up a bit I'll be out for a sail....still enjoying the honemoon with the new boat!
No doubt the Gippsland lads will make her seem "less fast" in a couple of weeks time

Cheers
