Wow, we got a pizzling. We were in iluka for reported 40-50knot storm the day before... and this was worse! Probably 50+ knots. We were laid on our beam ends a couple of times as we sailed on our 30kg sarca anchor. The secont time in as many days i have been impressed with its holding power. Kids were scared, but came through stoicly... a good learning experience. Only damage, the wind generator shed all 3 blades and took out a solar panel as it self destructed. These things have a "survival" speed of 49m/s or 95 kts!
the air breeze has seen better days.
even the tail disintegrated!
drying out today
Kids back to work.
