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.

Jay do you mean the Sunday that we are going to be @ Hamilton Island? What does it say for the rest of the week?
Did you get that info from BOM or Sea Breeze?

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!
