.12:30pm. Nice breeze at the moment. 15-20 knots SE. max gust.26.7 knots.
I'll head down about 1pm.

It was good. 6m.

You were correct! Thanks for the heads up. Was a bit light when I first got in, but another 2kts kicked in at about 430, had fun just cruising around, didn't even get my hair wet.

Dave joined me at the end for a blast as well.

The wind this afternoon was a pleasant surprise
Had a great 3 hours at Wello this afternoon all by myself until the end. Powered up using 6.6.

Just out of curiosity, where were you measuring that? BOM stations didn't have anything over 19. I was on my 9.5 and I'd assumed I'd be flattened by 25 knot gusts.
