Hi everyone, Pete the Pirate has been busy checking the weather for this happening at Lake Rotorangi, Here is his "prediction" Weather is starting to shape up. Yes there is a super high pressure cell in the lower Australian Bight heading our way for the weekend of 22.
At this point, the weather is looking like probably cold; SE winds for the area (probably sheltered on the water) trending fine. Sadly Pirate Pete cannot attend as he is "Dammit, I have to go diving in Nelson 18-22 (there are no other people left to do it)". Oh well more Toasted Marsh Mellows for us.
