Pete & Dags on the tandem today. Very light winds but managed 20 knots. Image doesn't do it justice, this taken as they returned to shore - and photo bombed by a speeding bird!

Ballast, it came in strong 25+ at GB just before dark. Wind swell so big my stepdaughter surfed the shorebreak where we sailed Saturday.

Yeah, Dag was going over to Sandstone to do a lesson over the high tide. There's only 10kn so you'll need a raceboard or longboard.

Beautiful day at Sandstone today, wind was a bit up and down though. Got there to see Parso getting blown off the water with a 6.5 so rigged a 6.5 thinking it'd be perfect. Go to get in the water and notice the wind has dropped so quickly rig a 7.5, had a bit of fun but was never really fully powered. Could have got away with the 9 but couldn't be bothered rigging another sail up so made do. Sunny skies and clean water till I started to hit the bottom and packed up. Mark was cruising around comfortably and Jeff turned up late and didn't get in till I was getting out. Thursday looks frightening on the forecast but tides are good for Sandstone so I might have a crack.

Hopefully it's not like a mini cyclone with horizontal rain and general nastiness, it's not looking very pleasant for this fair weather sailor

My mojo slipped back into neutral, it never really got out of 1st gear from when I woke up and it was raining and miserable. I'm a fair weather sailor, I'm not going outdoors when it's like this

I think we need to get him chipped, in case he goes missing again. Or maybe fixed up so he doesn't wander so far.
Nice work with the search party team. Big thanks to the guys on the kites who went searching too.
Glad you made it home safe mate.

Every cloud has a silver lining.
