I'm skeptical that a sceptical might be a receptacle for a seppo...

It was an absolute bottler of an arvo at wello. The NW crap died off and was replaced by a good NE seabreeze at about midday.It was still blowing at 4.30 when I left.(spent) A good time was had by all.

I sailed Shearwater and was disappointed - it was very gusty and each gust shifted between NW and NE so was pretty challenging. The kiteboarders couldn't keep them up . The 6.6 was never overpowered and I'm only light. I knew I should have gone to Wello.

There's always Saturday...

Yeah, the tide was on the way out, so at the train it was wind against tide so you probably get a little more pressure. Plus having the 7.8 up sure helped

Never sailed an outgoing tide at shearwater on a Northerly. I imagine it wouldn't be good. You want to go about 5 minutes south, to Southport/The Train.

Launch from the end of North St.

That said I'm not sure the outgoing tide actually flows north at the train, all the banks and the main channel make it flow in odd directions, it is rarely an issue though.

The Train in a warm, summer NE can be epic

Thanks for the tips. I'll head there next time. I didn't even give the tidal flow a thought.
