Ring the harbour master.

I've parked at Rosslyn Bay a few times, is that the same marina?

Hi Fsh00
What are you bringing in

On the lowest tide it was still about 1.4 in the middle

There was a couple of boats that churned sand over Christmas and in the last few years even one of the Keppel boats got stuck

it must be just about dredge time

Nomad is your new boat getting used or what

Hi Scotty,

Nah....i knew this would happen, every time i change boats its the same thing....30 knot south easterlies for weeks on end. Hell, i even brought on a cat 5 cyclone this time.

Took her out for a quick test run last sunday....just out of the harbour and punched into some 1.2m swell...very happy with the ride. Also planes at low revs/speed, so is kind on the body.

Guess i'll just have to be patient like everyone else...dont think its gonna happen this weekend.

fsh00,
It can get a little suspect on a good blow....N.East and S. East.

What size boat are we looking at??

Thanks guys, have to do a passage plan for TAFE but didn't have a detailed chart of the area i'll find it in the tide book when i get it.

Cheers,
Pete.
