10 am. Manly Harbour (sheltered) 10-15 knots SW max gust 18 knots. Report from Wello is "6 metre".

I'll be there around 12ish.

Wind report for Wello Tuesday. Crap Crap and crap. One minute about 24 knots within 50 metres or 5 seconds take your pick down to about 12. Why did i bother driving up there today. Had a good sail there a few weeks ago but have to say today wasn't a highlight. Feeling disappointed, not the way i usually feel after a sail

result. Started out dodgey with heaps of holes. I was just about to give up when at about 2pm in came back in again. A lot more consistant as well as stronger. Ended up having a great sail till 3.45 on the 6m...Hey Darren, you might have left a bit early mate.

One of the downsides of working nights i suppose had to leave by about 2 so i could have a sleep before having to go back to work but it means that i can sail during the week when it's good at SW. So i suppose it's got it's pros and cons. Glad to hear you all had a good sail later in the day just wish it wasn't so up and down while i was there. I'm thinking i might give the Spit another go in the next Westerly see what happens main problem there is the sand in everything when rigging/de-rigging.
On the up side i have found everybody at Wello to be very friendly and welcoming
