It seems the wind has been pushed back and the wind will not hit till late Wednesday afternoon but it is looking like it will be windy all day Thursday. Fingers crossed the delivery I am expecting is pushed back to Friday.

I have done my best to arrange for the wind to go ssw around 430 pm so I can sail u-s on the way home.

Fingers crossed for tonight and tomorrow

Gusty SW at point danger with head high occasional sets. In the drink at 5pm, I love daylight savings.
The seasons must be changing, the past 4 months the wind backed off 10 knots with a passing rain band but today it gained 10 wow

Beachport was solid 27 to 32 SSE so yeh Bondy Robe would have been on.

Was nice that it arrived just in time for the after work session

You could get used to it - that's probably it till next winter

There were some big air moves going down in the last two days - must be a few sore ribs, heads knees or backs!!!

Sounds like U-Turns would have been great last two nights. Pity i dont have the time to get there.

Last night i got to Semaphore at 6.20pm and it had gone too offshore. Drove 5 minutes up the road to the Chicken Shop (Mirani Court) and I sailed till 7.35pm on a 4.7. Outer harbor readings show gusts to 32 knots. No wonder i was hanging on.

Was a bit lonely though,only one out and not even any teabags there.

The chicken shop is a great alternative once semi has gone too offshore if you dont have time to drive anywhere else.

i sailed til 4-6 on 5.1 overpowered at sems, then went out on 5.8 til 730. I had awesome fun! None else bothered changing down though so I was sailing solo in the last session too.

Ive heard that north haven can go alright in a se'ster, any experience there bondy?

Sounds like we should have gone for the chicken. I left after it dropped at Semaphore around 6pm. Did notice it was still blowing out back...

James, North Haven is good in that direction too but Chicken shop is a closer drive and closer walk to the waters edge so gets me on the water quicker with limited time.

Yeah Geoff you should have come to the chicken shop, at least then i wouldnt have felt like a lonely shark snack.
