Mud Island March 4th Bash - VIDEO ADDED

Post by maverick »

For anyone who wants to come for sail, we are leaving either Mt Martha (East Coasters) or Queenscliff (West Coasters) and meeting up at Mud Island, for a coffee and a sandwich. Obviously subject to weather. Alternatives will be Mt Martha Marina for a coffee or up to Mornington/Frankston for a coffee depending on conditions. Casual sailing day, so no racing, but a fair chance I will tow a lure or two.

Photos from the last trip.

Launch location changed to Safety Beach Boat Ramp - due to the Esplanade (and Mt Martha Beach) being closed from Mt Martha to Mornington for a fun run.

If the forecast stays true and conditions are ok, might be an option to visit Popes Eye and the Fort on the way back. Makes the total straight line trip around 55 k's. Mud island & back, straight line is 40 k's.

Wind forecast is still very favourable.

The video you have all been waiting for. Ok, well maybe not, but here it is anyway. The video from the Mud Island trip by a few of the AI & TI lads last weekend, for those that are interested.
