just helps you hone the upwind sailing skills.

i learnt in the bribie passage. think shearwater conditions. when i eventually taught there we would tether people to the shore on a very long rope and concrete bucket because of the 8 knot current.
you just gotta toughen up!

on another note.
caloundra is a good spot to learn to sail.
