Nice picys Andrew you must have got there after I left, which was just before the 1st storm about 2.30 pm. Did not want to risk possible lightening strikes.

When I rigged at midday there was 1 windsurfer and 1 kiter going OK, but by the time I got out it was just about gone, still I had a sail at least. The Toukley Sailing Club tried to have a race in their catamarans at 2 pm but they even gave up.

Glad you sailed at Canton.

Depends on wind direction, ssw or sw go Canton or Buff Pt. Wsw or W go Peel St. I will wait & see what happens with the wind.

Need Deltas for Peely & Buffy but not for Canton.

It was a bit on and off. Hit it at 4.45pm and had just enough gas to get up to the point and back. Such a nice long smooth run too. Wind died, then came alive a bit from the NW, so got a dozen or so short tacks in on a different course just as it got dark (had turned off the GPS though). My first sail there and loved it!

Planning to hit it tomorrow mid morning...
