We've got a Southerly tomorrow............. so the strength of it and how cool it is, will dictate where we'll go tomorrow.
Also we may look at starting the race just by the Mana SH 1 Road Bridge on the eastern side, parking area where the toilet block is.............it's out of the wind and a little warmer on that side in the Southerly...................so keep an eye out for both starting spots they're not that far from each other.
Low Tide is 7.40 am
High Tide is at 1.25pm
Two course options
1. Same as previous races Ngatitoa out to Te Rewarewa Point and around the closest rock of the two big rocks offshore and back (9.7 km)
2. Ngatitoa around one of the SH 1 Mana Road bridge piles head south down Porirua Harbour and between the yacht moorings near Te Onepoto Bay continue through and turn at the buoy by the jetty at Whitireia Polytechnic head back the same way to the finish (9.5 km)
2 bucks entry fee for all paddlers...........the dosh goes into the prize pool for the last race, of the 6 in Series which is on Sept 5...............Joern will be back to run that one, and also to brag about his tan. Don't worry he won't be walking around in a tee shirt and shorts that day because he'll be freezing his butt off again, just like the rest of us!
We'll be out there by 9.15 am so keep an eye out for the Ute.
