[Rip it up]

I spent last weekend at mooloolaba for a sailing regatta. All 30 boats racing draw 6ft plus and made it in on load tide. No issues. Small breakers were seen maybe once every 10-15mins. Mainly 250m past the rockwalls. Although it was a good weather weekend. With small swell and light breezes.

Safe boating everyone.

That was only as good as the day of the survey. Since then the dredges had a bit of good weather the end of last week and then this week we have had some big swells again silting it up. One of the charter boats here had a test go this afternoon and he went way down to the west but one of the pilot boats came straight in. Certainly a bit of swell on it and you are still going to need to pick your tides and decide if you are going straight out or down to the west.

Was a bit of a non event today. Swell dropped heaps overnight. Favouring a little bit west of dead centre of the leads seemed to be the go.

Still the same Smithy might be heading out early tomorrow.
