Had a sweet early session at manly from 10ish, considered VP but meh @ trudging 200m at low tide. Was a bit light on the inside at the start, had to slog out, but spent 2 hours powered up on the 5.9m. I took it pretty easy just doing laps between the last of the channel markers and green island + anywhere else that looked good, was a bit far out to do anything silly haha. The wind filled in nicely inside the channel markers later on, so i didn't have to slog back home yay. I think the 1pm sailors would have scored some good wind. Only saw one other guy out right at the start on what looked like a red naish sail.

The water was super clear, the temperature was perfect, not a cloud to be seen, and barely another soul on the water, couldn't have asked for a better sail :D
