Hey Filth monster
Rig that handkerchief and get out there, with any luck it'll come down the Bay and blow that *hit outa the place. I want photos.
Today rocked and the forecast is lookin' the goods, 25-33 kts for the next few days.

It is now windy enough in Hedland that I could probably just fly my lines and not worry about the kite. The cyclone looks like it will miss us and get Karratha.

You better believe it buddy, I've rigged my handkerchief and now I'm just waiting for it. Should make it to Carnarvon if all goes well. Wish me luck

By the time I get up there, the wind will die out...I'll be bringing a 7 and 12, that should cover it.

Can't wait for our little bit of exploring Lurch....got the plan for Sonntag Bucht

Just a few more sleeps...the bities will be out after the storm though. They aparently go down deep when it is very windy and then come looking for food when it is calmer, or less than 20 knots
