My back yard (generally speaking).......a shame it's accessible only by a goat-track down a vertical (50-60m) cliff to a sheer drop, waves crashing against cliff-face!! No possible way of carting gear down there!

Sorry, just had to share.

is this a good season for you guys sailhack because of the la nina? seems to me everyone's breaking records

Jp,

Not a real good season for me personally....I've been busy breaking masts, and harness lines! I posted that because we're usually listed under 'windless places'. Had a good sail on flat water in the harbour today though, although very gusty! At times the fin was the only thing making contact with the water!

[edit] I must get one of those gps's to see what speed I usually chicken out at!!! Unfortunately, I'm guessing not much over 25kts! Usually it's when my eyes start to sting, and I can't keep them open!
