April Fools?
Things are looking good for Thursday 31st and possibly April 1st too - Hope its not Windguru doing some kind of April Fools joke!
I can't sail Thursday afternoon but might be able to get out on the water in the morning, and maybe even for an evening session as well
now that the clocks have changed.
I'll be out on Friday as well if the wind is any good.
Anyone else fancy joining me?

Cool, Thursday evening sounds like a good idea. I'll check to make sure I have time, but I should have an hour or two from about
6pm.

Cool, I'll try to do both then. A morning session as that looks like the windiest time at the mo, and an evening session if it's still
windy enough.
Friday morning looks good as well.

I'll be out, probably after lunch, as I'm not a morning person.

The time is set on a per person basis so that they can put it to whatever their timezone is - You can change this in your control
panel.
I might be a bit later now as I have had a phone call from the electrician and he's coming around at 9 so I have to be here for him.

Sounded as though the coastguard helicopter landed on the beach at Ynyslas just after I got off the water. Is everyone Ok?

Well I was out until about 1pm when Col arrived - and the wind died... Didn't see any coastguard helicopter but a Chinook flew over
heading north very low and very slow. I was quite glad I wasn't out back at the time - although it probably wasn't quite as low as it
looked...
Great session 4 hour though !
Neal.
ps funny about the timezone - it must have been wrong last summer for me and I never noticed !

hey Neal,
we were worried but all seems good then  ...did the wind dropped a bit by the time i left?
for me it's time to buy a new kite after my ripping water start followed by a 100 m dash sprint
i was glad that that did not happened if i had gone back past the wave ..oh well part of the game unfortunately, and I am experiencing
all the parts it seems ...Kev you'll be laughing if you read this post
mate ..i
know it
i am allover the place as usual..nothing goes smooth

Cool, glad everyone's ok. The copter must have been quite low as we couldn't see it above the dunes here, just hear it.
I had a good sail for a while, but there wasn't really enough wind for me so I didn't stay out long. Should've rigged a bigger sail
really but had to get off to the uni.
