Rob, I thought you had already gone. Must be this weekend? Have a great trip. Sure I will hear all about it when you get back.

#Best I can do for ya mate. This is buoyweather. I am a member so can get 7 day forcast. As close as I can get to where I think Swaines are. I would be pretty close here. Dont know what you going out in but it looks pretty good out there. Hope it helps.

Champion mate thanks a bundle, looks like the first couple of days will be choppy and then gradually easing. Should make for an interesting experience , the last trips were a millpond once we were on the reef.

Crossing the Capricorn channel has been always a bit rough, last time I went, one of the other boats lost a bloke overboard in the middle of the night.He was never recovered. :( :(.

Ive packed the digital so I hope to have lots of good pics for a report when i get back

good stuff rando, i'll be up there in a few weeks - august 12 8-)
look forward to your report when you get back and hope you have good weather!

Mate just got back this morning from swains on the Tura, rough trip home blowing 25 knots or better, swell 2.5mtr plus, but all worth it for the trip. It should be down to 15-20knots today, and when your out there, it don't matter that much anyway.

Have a great trip :) :)
