Just had a squizzy at the forecast for tomorrow morning for our re-launch surf ski event.
We are looking at 25kmh to 30kmh NNW winds.
We will be starting at 9 am from the Giant Oars on the Petone Foreshore. I'll be out there just after 8 am.
We'll be heading clockwise around Somes Island so a tail wind out some shelter around the back of the island then into a headwind on the way home.
The round circuit is 8.4km you'll shoot between Somes Island and Mokopuna Island (at the northern End) and the last stretch between both Islands back to Petone into the headwind is just under 3 kms.
If the wind and conditions look like they are turning too snakey we'll go for an alternate course along the Petone Foreshore and under the Seaview Wharf to Sorrento then Lowry Bay around the big yellow 5 knot buoy then up the Hutt River rounding one of the piles on the road bridge then skating along the foreshore back to The Giant Oars, that course is 8km.
Don't forget leg leashes and PFD's there will be no motorised rescue craft. We will have cellphone contact on the water and our event safety number is 027 4581 005
