I am still hopeful to get an hour before full dark but doubtful. Bet it howls all night then calm and by daylight.

What are CBFs? Is that like the 'Tooheys Dry' medication I am on to cope with the lack of wind today?

Since the title of the thread is still relevant, waiting waiting... Tuesday morning doing Uni assignments and badly looking for an excuse not to do Uni assignments.

Gear in my car ready to go, just waiting for South Channel to hold above 20knots for about 30mins and I am off! Anyone else waiting or back at work? Shame daylight savings had to change back.
