It's looking OK for Weds morning at the moment... SW 25 knots, and OK for next Sunday...

Chris, can you sort my back out by then please!!

Well, Monday ended up being pretty good... NW 20-22 knots with glorious sunshine all day, Today (Tuesday) looks similar at the moment except that it is SW, and tomorrow looks even windier but with rain...

I'm off for an osteopath appointment with Chris in a mo and if he doesn't hurt me too much I shall hopefully be able to get out for a sail this afternoon.... All depends on the outcome of todays treatment... be gentle with me Chris!!

Well well well... what a week so far, it just seems to get better and better.

Tuesday ended up pretty good with 25 knot SW, wednesday was wet and very windy to start with but brightened up in the afternoon, although the wind did ease off to a frustrating 15 knots as well... Today was just epic, 20 knots to start with but it soon picked up to a steady 30 knots, with some mad squalls... I've just been checking the weather station stats for the day and around here they were regularly recording 40+ knots and even a 48 knot gust at one point.... It is still blowing at around 30 knots at the moment with some big gusts, so it may top the 50 knot mark at some point today!!!.... I love it here!

What a week.... pretty much 25 knots all day everyday... I can't remember a week in the summer where I've been able to use my 5m and little wave board every day.... Not much about today (Sat) though, but it is looking OK for tomorrow.

Yip, what an epic week Al, Super powered on the 13 meter every day!! Had a bad one Thursday morning, when a freak gust caught me with out warning, and lofted me well over 40 foot, cleared a sand bar then landed in 2 inches of water!!!! Other than that a epic week!!

Bring on Autum!!
