Well, well ,well.4.7 sail was to big for down south.Had a blast for 1.5 hours.It started to get stronger after 1200hrs.We did not break anything , just reminded mother nature is in control , regardless of who we are.

Hmmm, what are those white areas on the wave tops? They trigger some latent memory of something I must of once been used to seeing.

Yep Easty - its been pretty tragic down here in Tas. No wind and no swell just lots of rain. Don't despair though as is often the case with frontal weather, we get what WA gets 4 days later. I am thinking about taking some of Tuesday off work to sneak a sail in.

Yep Marlon, nor-westers on the way! I might have a go at sailing from Montrose on Tuesday, just for something different and closer to home.
