Title: offline for next week
Post by: Brandon Khoo on July 11, 2009, 12:24:39 PM: I am going to be off-line for the next week so if you send me a PM, I will not be able to respond in that time.

I will be New Caledonia - hope to have a decent report from this trip.

Sunday we are in Hamilton, couldn't see any further than that coz I only got 7 day forecast. That was from Buoyweather, also looked at Seabreeze and it was slightly better.

Seabreeze is always optimistic over here lately- try www.bom.gov.au/marine (http://www.bom.gov.au/marine) for a good forecast. If anything the predictions have been improving slightly as the day gets closer recently. Fingers crossed for you - it's a lot of money and hopes to have gambled on a holiday so weather dependant isn't it!
