Any ideas Shawn ?

Guide us O great sheep - where should we venture to graze this weekend ?

Your flock will follow....



I notice Theyr is predicting WIND !

I've been to rhossy today and it ws fantastic. Great to be back out on a 4.2 and over powered with logo high waves and the rest.



Absolutely exhausted after an hour but with some lucozade and a break managed another 1 1/2 hrs on the water.



Just love the autumn conditions. Probably would have been alittle better with a little less wind but we don't want to complain!!



Saturday looks a great forecast so see you down there!!

Dave

Mornin'



Yeah - sorry, forcasts have not been happening of late - been on hols, and then done so much rippin laterly that I've been unable to type - got the sh!t kicked out of me by rhosneigr yesterday - consider yourselves lucky you weren't there except Dave (above) - well done mate, hangin on to a sail like that all day - which one were ya? I was on the fanatic goya with holey 4m sail.



Weather for the w/e - as usual - a bit vague, sorry - but that's the fine art of forecasting for ya.



friday

kirby - SW about 10 kts all day - good for big kites cos tides up at 1.20pm - 8.99m - I think I'll be there to give it a whirl - the boss is off again.

Rhossy - SW about15 - 17 kts all day - but i'm never going there again after the kicking I got in the waves yesterday.



saturday

kirby - 14kts W all day, although theyr is showing force 5 westerlies at both kirby and rhossy at the mo', so keep a close eye on what it does.

Rhossy - If you get there early - by 9 - it will be mighty windy - about 30kts - slowly decreasing to 18 kts W by mid day for the rest of the day - could be a cracker of a 4 & 5m day if u don't mind the drive and are feeling lucky.



Sunday

kirby - F 4/5 SW, according to theyr. However, windguru puts it a bit lower than that at lower end of F4 ...... hmmmm.

Rhossy - F 6/7 SW according to theyr.F 5 from windguru.....



My recommendation - beat the crowds & get to Rhossy very early on saturday and rig yer smallest sail (but don't camp over night cos you'll get blown away). Then again, I'm a bit biased cos I'm stuck at a family lunch on sunday.

The tide tables for WK are showing 8.9m Saturday lunchtime and 8.67 on Sunday. Is that worth making a 2 hour journey for? Can anyone say how long before and after high tide is sailable at those levels please?



Thanks, Johmo

Strictly speaking 1 hour either way

In reality more like 2 either way but you need to start off from the far end of the lake and recover there and you may have a bit of a walk.

If you do that, it's best to team up with someone else, or follow the last other sailor home.....

Well went back to rhossy and have just returned. Big waves again but sw/w 15 kts and I was there from 9am. Only took my wave kit.(rrd red and ezzy blue with streamer)
