Lick the Knife Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hi Scott, look forward to another Wildcat. Mind you don't enjoy the drive. How is the Water depth and Weed looking, have the floods cleared any of it out? Regards Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammer Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 How is the Water depth and Weed looking, have the floods cleared any of it out? The storms and rain have cleared a significant amount of weed from the lake I was at the club today and a lot of weed is on the shore. We 're racing this weekend so I'll check the water out. Updated this post with the details: High tide Saturday 4th is 1.55m at 12.40pm (adjusted for the Lake not Forster Beach). So that makes it close to ideal.

Great news, the Blade and some more F16's will be there for sure as long as all spinnaker boats are sailing together like last year. It was great fun!

The Big Bloke Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Neil and Grant I have just worked out what the big surprise is. There I was thinking Neil was going to "come out" on Friday when he arrived. Have ordered extra pain relief and crash boats instead of spandex and lycra!
