Got down to Dorans around 6.30am. Driving through falling snow along the Southern Outlet. Snow down to the bottom of the mountain and it doesnt get much colder than this. Not much wind, rigged up and then Dave, Jez and Rusty arrived. Wind looked like crap when it it did come in a bit. Had one run out and dogged back in. Waited another hour in stupidly cold weather, then had enough and left around 10.30am. Jez and Ken were rigging, not sure if Dave and Russ were going out or home.
Ended up going out after waiting around for almost 3 hrs. Got 20 minutes into what was going to be a 1 hour and the wind died. Waited for about another half hour with no wind and decided to pack up. Quite a few out. Kazza seemed to be on the plane most of the time.
Few photos from the Eastern inlet, Stanley. Taken by Johnny. Stanley really delivered this weekend 5.8m both days. Was great seeing the guys put a show on at 8 mile beach Saturday.
Bugger of a day for me like Dave said started the one hour with high hopes only to start falling down wing 20 minutes in and then it stopped totally for 20 min so I went home. Shame after such a early start and good forcast. well done to those that stayed sailing.
Sunny with a bit of rain every now and then.
