Just had a conversation with Dongara Sea Rescue Group about the two downwinders planned for KS 2012 (they provide marshalling/support boats as part of the safety planning we put into KS) - it's currently blowing 25knots plus up in Dongara & it's been that way for weeks apparently.

No need for SUP's this year based on that advice....

Two DW's this year - "The Big Cowboy" (also known as the Epic DW) on Thursday 26th Jan (Australia Day)...30km or there abouts, and the "Little Cowboy" on Friday 27th January, a shorter distance, of about 15kms, heading north from Dongara up the coast a bit.....

With 25knot winds, it's looking pretty damn fine for KS 2012.....
