Here comes a Hoolie!

Looks as though it should be blowing a Hoolie tomorrow (Monday Jan 7th).. Forecast is for 35-40 knots Westerly.

Anyone gonna be around?

I should think that 30-40 knots is beyond me......but I could be talked into it. Is 12ish too late? is it the same Borth launching, with dead onshore???

Shem... I hoping it WON'T be manageable with your 9m as I don't have a 5m sail at the moment so need a 'proper' blow to get me going with my 4.5m.Shem... I hoping it WON'T be manageable with your 9m as I don't have a 5m sail at the moment so need a 'proper' blow to get me going with my 4.5m.

Simon.... Yep, usual place (Golf Course Car Park) in a Westerly and don't worry about it being too much as if it is dead W then we just blast up and down in the shallows and don't need to go out too far into the bigger waves.

I can be around for midday, but might get out earlier than that if the wind is good, just in case it drops off later.

Looks as though the wind came in overnight.... It was howling all night but seems to have dropped off now.... I might go out for a sail later though as there is still enough for bigger kit, and who knows it may pick up again.
