That was certainly a fun couple of hours of sailing - some nice sets coming through - did Mike D ever get out of the water or is he still out there - he was looking pretty happy that he decided to hang at the mid

We could see you guys sailing still at 730 from Hortas restaurant at Pt Noarlunga Jetty (nice meal and view by the way)

jelous, what was the forecasted wind and end result in knots?
meant to be 15-20 down here tonight and i'm a bit undecided,
might have to take the rods just incase.

Down our way was 10-15 with 15-20 seabreeze (forecast).

First went out 5-17 knt low tide (surprised I didn't lose a fin) s-sse a gusty float - probably 15- 23 by 630 with some stronger gusts

I wouldn't take any notice of the Noarlunga weather readings - you can be sailing fully powered up on a 4.7 and Noarlunga reads 10 knts.

Its 50 m from the expressway not far from the South Road intersectio - its so far from the water its pretty useless for gauging whats happening at the mid

Made it in Russ. It stayed in a lot longer than I thought. Sam Betts was still going well at 7pm. Loved that party wave we were on.... Good size and quick down the line fully powered. An awesome day. Josh said Semmy was pretty windy but pretty flat. Thanks for the photos Lano.
