ok i'll be in the big smoke 27,28 and will stay for sat if theres good wind prediction.

low tide at muriwai on that day is 10. i'd be keen for a nuke the beach to moose and back if the conditions are right.

whose in?

its not the worlds biggest tide with only a meter swing.....

ps gannet when does your 2 month window officially end? should we eyeball the weather and punch the 90mile if conditions/tides present themselves.?

YA,WE ,YES I'll in I can even offer a roof at base camp if you need.
my freedom ends on the 1 st of October

and thats a big WE WE on 90 mile

ok i'll look for some dates for the 90mile.,,,.

if the wind plays ball we could even blow the 90 on the 29th. 10pm low tide would mean going up on friday night.... its not the widest low tide but then i'm coming to the realisation if we wait for perfect 90 condiditions we'll never do it.

Righto.
it's time to tell your wives your unavailable for saturday as there'l be a kitefest going on!

Hmmm, I don't know what she going to say about that
Hehe, rage factor doesn't work the same on the phone,
I think it's because you can't see the fear in the eyes

so I'm in

my offer of a roof and bed still stands,
but be warned it does look like a bachelor pad
may have to have a clean up as seating is limited



and low tide is 10.18am sat

thanks for the offer to crash but i'll stay with my mate Paul who i don't get to visit often....

if low tide is 10 when does the kiting start? 7?8?

i'm realy keen to nuke the beach if conditions allow.

I would say 8 and don't be late
7 if we need to go to the other end and nuke back

Hehehe... and if the wind fails to show you can don an apron and help Gannet avoid high rage factors by doing some house-work!

I'm too run down from work last week and this stupid office flu going around. Else I was told to make myself scarce this weekend as the ladies are having a tea-party. The one time I get the perfect excuse to stay out all day...

guster burn the midnight oil and get that work out of the way for the weekend. i'm sure yourl forgett about colds and flu's when your belting down the beach with wind in your hair.

Hehehe... it's because I've been burning too much oil after midnight that I am so stuffed. Less than 4 hours sleep a night for over a week followed by a +30 hour shift at work this weekend. Only coming into work tomorrow to drop off the on-call phone and attend a meeting then I'm going home to reboot for a few days.

Who knows... might even feel fit enough after a 2 day break to come chase you with my new Kenda's.

do it!

DO it guster

weather forecast is holding at 12knots wwn for sat. raining cats and dogs sunday....

fingures crossed it holds out and builds to 16-18knots...

still looks like manta weather there plummet

I'm still grinning from sundays manta experience

manta is only just warming up at 12-16 knots..... wait till you hit 16+

hehehe.... can you say gliding? or zipwire?

ahhh... whats the call fo tommorrow. 7knot nw forecast. is it worthwhile trying for the moose? make the call mighty gannet and i'll. let me know what time or if its worthwhile turning up.

Hmmm.
6-7 knots NW
there is only one place to get max wind
so a moosing we will go
moose moose moose

note we will be lucky to get much wind before 9am ,
so let meet at my place at 7.45 and drive at 8am
and drive back at 1pm

who's coming ?

and who's not

I'm out... home renovations kept me from working on my gear. Moosetruck is in pieces, handles still to bend. I made a table for the HV bandsaw but did not cut the alloy for the new molds yet. Need to dress the 1.25" MT3 drill too. That one will save me a lot of work.

i'm in will turn up 7.45.

hoping for more than 7 knots.... parying to the wind gods for 12+

try dancing the wind dance in your Green string
not the rain dance in your pyjamas
oops .. thats just a Auckland thing isn't it

see ya in the morning

thanks gannet for taking me to the moose.... unfortunatly the wind gods are still punishing me for something and only let out a max of 6 maybe 7 knots.......
grrrr. ... . . . .. ...... none the less some mantering was undertaken.

that's cool ,anytime.
