Topic: Omaha

Just had a call from Grant1 wanting an update– the wind is looking ideal for Omaha. I mn abut 5 km away and in Kawau Bay the whitecaps are just forming.

For once the weather was about right. Looks like Auckland had more wind than those at Waihi, I see most had 4 metres, only Debs with a 3.

What clean up – the wind blew all the sand off! A little bit in the wheels. Roll on Utube! Broken bones takes a little longer.

 No washouts at all ,Just clumps of sea weed ,could do high speed runs both ways had to watch our turns doing 60km close to stream end .

 Orewa was good today as well 64km with a 3 metre sail. I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 8 spam emails to date.

Oh what a Blast! Hit the beach at 8 AM and sailed until 10:30 AM. ORCA, Wayne O, Tony S (on camera) and Haydn.

Dave ORCA Bush and I plan to meet at 8:30 AM at Omaha at the Surf Club tomorrow Tuesday for a wet and windy blast. NE forecast and wind right through the night.

Originally sent by: Grant Perhaps we'll just have to go the extra distance to Omaha next time. I think the streams with their washouts took their toll at Orewa today.

Good to hear from you Wayne - I was wondering if anyone had made it back alive? Sorry to have missed it :-( Can't have been too much beach left to play with in that wind.
