Good numbers guyz, the new website has a map of NZ with either north or south is lighting up!!

well done guys. lake Clearwater posted, note the glaciers to the NW!! Stunning place to sail. lake level shots to follow

Smoking alpha Terry! Are you back in Maui this year?

nice 1 guys! my geography is a little rusty but it appears you guys live on a island called 'others' situated off the nor west coast of WA!! i know a lot of aussies recon KZ is another state of oz but i didnt realise you where so close? should be able to pick up the odd cyclone up there!

are you guys on the north island or the sth island of the question mark?

Hi Snides. We are in the middle of the South Island, about 2 hours drive from Christchurch. Lake is up in the mountains at 667m above sea level. Lakes runs NW/SE and with mountains either side it funnels the hot NW winds from over your way. On a good NW day it is common to get a solid 40 knots but it can be a little gusty. In winter the lake freezes over completly!

Isnt it great to see a KIWI team taking it to the ozzies!!!

Yes it is great to see the Kiwi's giving it to the Ozzies, You need to get more Kiwi's invloved as you will soon be getting your own web page!!!!!

cheers Glen,that certainly looks cold up there! and you could of been forgiven for adding...'another' in front of ..."kiwi team giving it to the ozzies".......

lake level shot of Clearwater

Wow that's pretty spectacular!  I would imagine that it would be a bit gusty on the lake?

Believe it on not its not cold at all in summer. On a nice NW day it can easily get to 30 deg and as its is a shallow lake the water is nice and warm (still wetsuit weather though). Very refreshing place to sail as its cleans your gear out and everything seems to run so nicels after the fresh water!

Glen we are heading to Clearwater on Friday-keen? Dinks and I are also going to Ellesmere tomorrow pm . 20-30 knot NE forecast. Gotta try the Dinks speed strip this summer. Could make this months GPSTC very interesting if its working.

We let you Kiwis play - but we didn't say you were allowed to win!!

it was good to be on top.................briefly

Hi Neil. Wish i could go but im doing a cashie this weekend. 4cast looks good 4 the mountains.
