I saw the fleet go through Brighton at midday yesterday. It would have been perfect about 90 minutes later when the wind piped in and the sun came out.

Today is a good day for hanging at home and earning brownie points.

Were you out windsurfing?.. or up in the car park?

We did get some good gusts (30+ knots) but the wind did die as we got near Green Point.

The arvo did look better.. I was even keen to do it again..

Missed your paddle DJ. Headed off from St Kilda to Green Point about 2pm Saturday arvo. First down winder and did it solo. Cant believe how it demands so much more from your body. Felt knacked at the end. Got pretty rough off Brighton Yacht Club with real sloppy conditions and large sailboats to contend with. But I'm hooked. I'll try and make your next down winder.

That's great Hoagie, doing it with a few mates makes it even more fun. It's like a completely different sport isn't it.

We will make sure you are in next time.

Is Nat a girl with a Cabrina kite?.. I often see her as we go past and we give each other a smile and a wave.
