Wednesday: Winds: W to NW 10 to 15 knots, shifting N to NE in the afternoon and
reaching 15 to 20 knots. Seas: 0.7 to 1 metre.

Maybe Tom but I think Thur looking more hopeful and it never blows on a day off

Not if there is any north in it, the train or the grand are better.

Haircut predictions are usually more accurate than the BOM..Unfortunately I'm working.

Does HC have a connection to Hewey or is HC the Lord of the wind ? Does he eat beans?
How can I leave work early tomorrow? So many questions. Did I win lotto?

Haircut has strange mysterious powers.(something to do with gypsies I think). He can also plane in 5 knots breeze with a 5.3 metre sail.

Awesome afternoon at narrowneck 8.3m IS111 and slightly over powered, hardly any swell to get out and the most constant breeze I've sailed in for a long long time
Just John and myself out. Beautiful afternoon.

Un packed the 7.7 but in my haste to get on the water didn't look at the cambers properly - thought they were wrong - so rigged the old 6.6 total flow f1 (1997 version) and had a good sail for just over an hour on Starbd 117 - powered the whole time..
Got home and had a closer look at the sail and discovered the cams are right - operator error... so Maybe tmr will try it out...
Still great to be out on the water until sunset tho...
