Doesn't look as though there will be any wind about over the weekend..... Although there is a chance of a sneaky Easterly in the estuary. Not convinced it will come to anything yet, but you never know.

I think I under-estimated things just a little bit!!!...Chance of a sneaky easterly in the estuary!!! I think 40 knots is more than a little sneaky!!

What a weekend!

Al,

That was almost in the Michael Fish scale of underestimation. I'm sure Col was flying a 9m on Sunday!?!

I eventually got out for an hour before the tide left us. It backed to about 20 knots and then died to about 10. Snook a quick session in though, but the Saturday was the epic for me. It'll keep me going till the next one. And sunny as well!!!!

Yeah, Col was on an 9m and had it fully depowered at times...Then the wind picked up and he hid in his van for a while like everyone else!!!

Glad to hear you had a good weekend... It's even better when you aren't anticipating anything special.
