Wind has just picked up at airport now around 20knots NNW but forecast is for it to swing towards the west around midday....could be good for Carlton....where ever you go have a good one cos I can't

What Id classify as a dissapointing day. Tried Dorans first but the wind had too much North in it, really horrible chop and gustingt from absoute zero to 40+. Lots of spray and wirlie wirlies, except in the calm bits!
Then went to Pitwater, Sorell end. Very windy at first, unfortiunately to get in the flat water you had to sail too close to the cause way, which made it very hard to deal with the gust that would hit from nowhere. Then as you head off the wind the short chop was a bit too much to really get any good speed(for me anyway). Went faster at Dorans!
So in general just another stupid NNW wind.

Kaleb thats a bummer, at least you got some good speed yesterday. I have always found the causeway hard to sail.
