Crazy strong winds forecast all this week at Sandy Point. Unfortunately I'm way too busy at work to take time off but it sounds like some of the Pit Crew will be there including Daffy, Ado and Kato.

You can see that Kato has what it takes for such days from this photo of him relaxing up at Burrum Heads earlier this year...

I think kato is painting a far too rosy picture. While it was blowing 50-60 knots in Port Phillip, at the Pit the clouds peeled away as far as the eye could see and it was totally becalmed. I mean not a breath of wind for over an hour.

I joked about sun baking at one point.
