I've been watching these forecasts for days, and they keep saying the same thing = 28 knots solid tomorrow with a summer seabreeze pattern. Is that really gunna happen? I'm planning NOT to sail tomorrow 'cos its too windy!?

I noticed the surf at the artificial reef from the train on the way to prison (work) thismorning and it looked over head high and clean... my only conselation was that there way about 25 guys out!

I got up at 3am this morning so I could sail in 4 - 8 knots which is my preferred wind range.

We're not all pro's like Laurie, Leski and ggf, some of us are into the lighter stuff

Was impressed by the sailing at Safety Bay - still reckon that the algorithm on the SB graph needs to be adjusted up by 10 knots. Rottnest is showing 35 knots - must have been 30 knots average

Too much power for me

Those two kites out there at 16:30 were impressive. Close to the edge

Another good day today.

Sail repair shops will be happy.

It sure was blown at Safety Bay,I agree with you Radmac it was easily 30+knots unlike what the graph was showing?
I had a good time on my 5m until crashing badly and spained my now balooned/blue foot
Still a week left of holidays and I'm now outa action
now looking through a Harvy Norman ad for a video/dvdand buying a large tin of milo

Happy sailing
