early risers may get the best of the wind tomorrow. Except in Perth where BOM is forecasting a wind shadow.
Hardie, Cobblers before 8 ?

I got down to woodies before 7 and was going to rig up... but there were some rather chunky bolts of lightning hammering down not so far away. Might have made it in time for a few runs maybe high 30s (it was gusting to about 25-26kts). Then it started pissing down and it all died. Was cool to see an amazing sunrise with no cloud for a big slit along the horizon, with armageddon on the other side... wish I had a camera but I dont take anything like that to woodies.

Actually got up in time , packed the car the night before and was at novara before 7 for a first light sail but....



Should have stayed in bed!


Sorry to hear Yoyo - I reckon that might be the all time best skunking ever.
