Forecast For Kingy Social Sunday Looks Great

[mrmoshe]

Looking at Seabreeze today and the forecast for Sunday's Social is looking great.

A couple of days ago it looked like being horrible with predicted 4 metre swells and 25 knot southerly, but it has

now been revised.

Let's hope the forecast stays like it is..or even gets better. (Click on the button at the top of the page for Seabreeze)

Can't wait!

Cheers,

Pete.

Also, as another member posted ealier...The QEII and the Queen Victoria will be both in Sydney Harbour

over this weekend.

The QEII arrives at the heads at 0530 and travels to Garden Island..The Queen Vic. will already be docked at Circular Quay having arrived on Saturday.

There will probably be a lot of boat traffic sightseeing and exclusion zones have been established my NSW Maritime.

Here's a list of them below:

RECREATIONAL BOATS

• A 60m exclusion zone will apply while these ships are in Sydney Harbour.

• Skippers of spectator vessels must remain outside of exclusion zones while the ships are in Sydney Harbour.

• A 400m ahead and 60m exclusion zone – to the left and right and behind the ships - will apply while the Queen Victoria and the Queen Elizabeth 2 are moving through Sydney Harbour.

• Geographic exclusion zones will apply when the ships are passing each other on Sunday, 24 February at approximately 6pm. Spectator vessels must remain behind the following areas as advised below:

o West – area extending from Millers Point to Blues Point on the western side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge

o North – area extending from Cremorne Point Wharf to Kirribilli Wharf

o East – area extending from Robertsons Point to Garden Island (for vessels intending to accompany Queen Victoria as she departs Sydney)

o South – the mouth of Farm Cove

Other geographic exclusion zones may apply. Visit www.maritime.nsw.gov.au for more information.

Pete, is it true that the QEII is here just for the kingy social? If is is, you may need to order a few more snags for the barbie! Also, I heard a rumor that the QEII has just had 500 downriggers fitted!

I'll bet the old Pick-A-Box Syd will be last seen alongside the QEII jigging his downrigger ball off the propellors under machine gun fire.

I have heard that the two big boats will do a "pass -by" at approx 6.30pm. One on the way out, one on the way in. It is meant to have both boats passing each other between Fort Dennison.

(Pub talk only.............but I was sober at the time!)

At this stage the KINGY social is good to go all and the weather looks great for a nice day out on the harbour.

Please remember there will be a lot of boats out and to be extra careful with your vessel and crews.

Good hunting all and hopefully the Kingies will be smashing your offerings.

Cheers Stewy
