Last time we had that sort of fluctuation, sick of being underpowered, I took at my 6.6 in to 25-30 knots.
And I am sure you remember how that turned out, Justin. It picked up even more, and after 2 hours my arms and body felt like I had climbed halfway up Everest.
I will be rigging my 5 today, methinks.

You sailing Wello? and what time you heading down ?

imagine if you got to the beach at 4.31, you'd take the wave gear instead of the formula and have a long swim back
