SE Qlders: it could be time to welcome the 4th Wind Quadrant of the season - The Westerlies.
Hopefully we will be standing under it on wednesday. I think i remember all the 653 turns and round-abouts to Wello. I believe we had a kracker there mid May last year. Or was that the year before?

I was hoping for a few knots around midday today, trying to get some sailing in this week before the predicted collapse. I had the peel island observations open, and the speeds just fell all the way to 0 at noon. Haha... not a chance.

well i don't have a mast or boom for the 10.9 so i hooked up some string to it. it was wicked.

i think i may have invented a new sport. it's fun but i felt a little gay.
