Me too!
I've been given a leave pass to stay over, catch the ferry on Sunday to Lucky Bay and return Monday. I haven't decided yet (about the ferry trip) as I had a tear in the retina in my right eye spot welded on Monday. All seems good and the Doc said I probably shouldn't ride for 3 days so by Saturday all should be good.

I had planned on camping at Marion Bay on Saturday night, but the weather is looking pretty crook.   :well

A weeks ago I looked at accommodation in Edithburgh but everywhere was fully booked for saturday.  The weather forecast last night said rain so it'll be a day trip for me.

Due to the wet and windy weather forecast, I've cancelled my tent site and booked an en-suite budget cabin, which seemed like a sensible thing to do.

I reckon a day trip for me as well. The forecast is for strong winds about when the ferry is due to sail and I'm happy to give that a miss.

We're in the Caravan Park, in our "rustic" cabin, the only accommodation they have that accepts pets.

Hence another no ST RTE for me.

Came down the Kulpara to Maitland road. Word of warning, it's like a rollercoaster.

Contacted the BOM, 100% rain and thunder from Adelaide to Port Victoria and likely back,  so given I have brand new tyres not even run in and potential slippery roads I will not be heading over to the RTE tomorrow.  Apologies team but I thought the weather would clear up.

Thanks Chris.   For Saturday, Pt Wakefield is currently showing, 22 degrees max, windy,  and 90% chance of 1-5mm.  I'm still "in" at this stage.

Here's our current list of intrepid travellers.

Unfortunately I too am a late apology. Last night I'd arranged for a mates shack at Point Turton with the plan of leaving today with the lovely weather and after the RTE tomorrow, head home.  This morning I packed and at 2:00pm I left.  4.5 km later I decided our SA roads are too rough for someone who had laser surgery for retina tears on Monday and turned and headed home. No point risking my eyesight and I'm seriously disappointed, but, there is always another day. Bon appetit courageux cavaliers.

Probably a wise call, as risking your eyesight for the sake of a ride and lunch may be a choice you'd regret.

I thought  Langers & STinky Pete might use the ute option.

And another RTE with only 1 Kwaka and two tincans.

Pete did bring the ute.
