Bit early and dark at the mo, but its averaging 17 knots ENE at the moment and gusting up to 25 knots. Is any one around for a sail this morning??

Me me me... Its a lot windier than that in the estuary... Weather station is gusting averaging 16 knots and gusting to 30 at the mo... probably 30-35 in the estuary.

Not much water about though so will have to wait until at least 9am I reckon.... Lets hope the wind lasts.

Still looking good.... Wetsuit is in the tumble drier on a hot cycle... As soon as its ready I'll be heading to the estuary.

Looking at the time of the posts this morning what on earth were you guys doing up at that time ?

Had you just finished a night shift or do you have a wind alarm in the bedroom ?

I leave the window open when I want to go for a Dawny sesh Loxley, that way it wakes me up if its over 15 knots. 4 am was a tad early than planned today, but I got a load of paper work done any way, so all good!

(Its the country way, work when its dark, play when its light)

Cracking day in the estuary. it dropped off for a while but Ivor was on form for most of the day. I had a good session in the estuary and sailed over to Aberdovey a few times.

Have to work tomorrow though, but will be out cycling in the evening.

Shame there isn't enough water in the estuary at first light.
