Doesn't stess me out, I'd probably stess out going at that speed. What stresses me is seeing all the other places besides Sydney getting decent wind this weekend. The cold front today was a fizzer. Did it even get to Sydney? November gloom.

40 knots is a seriously major achievement, respect to those who have stepped up to the mark.

If it was easy then it wouldn't be so much of a milestone and we wouldn't strive so hard to achieve it.

It's nice looking at a figure such as 40knots and dreaming (.18 to go seems like miles away still) of hitting the mark.

But at the end of the day for the individual each PB is a major milestone The beginner chasing 20, Slowy chasing ball shriveling numbers, it's all relative. Those who have already achieved 40's want to go faster.

Remember, It's the journey not the destination that is important and every PB is something to be proud of and celebrated as a step along the path of enlightenment

Hey Sheartip I kept pulling 29.9s.... so close, it will happen. Did a pb of 31.05 today. One thing I learned, go really broad and be really over powered on a beam reach. Can't imagine what 40 feels like, my main goal is to hit 35 and see what happens after that

I am with you fitz66. Was stuck on a fraction under 30 for months. Each knot extra seems like coming across another mountain. As you say I cannot imagine what 40 must feel like.

You will hear my shout for joy when I get to 35!

No Lao shi, I think the funny walk is a sign of the injuries sustained getting to 40
