Looks like the rain moving north so hope there's wind behind it.

That is positive! And I put something on top. I'll bring selfmade Muffins for everyone who shows up (hope that no more than 6 will be at whereverwe'rewindsurfing)! Motivation enough?
See you

I went down to VP with all the gear and sat in the car for an hour. Miserable. Looked like it was going to come up but no. So headed off home for a hot coffee and vanilla slice - Yum. Read the aper and still no wind. I made the right decision!!! Maybe tomorrow???

Ditto at mine. Leaving here in 30. Be there about 3.15
(I'd be there now if i'd not had tech difficulties with bbq.)

I'm taking everything, don't know what this wind is doing.

Mmmm, muffins were much appreciated trauma.

Wind has finally reached my place, 10 minutes north. Very weird this wind.

I can feel my toes again.

Thanks guys! But hey, be honest, they were a bit too hard.

It was really nice today, and ... my right big toe feels his neighbor (which seems to be still asleep, drunk, half drowned or simply dead).

I went out at VP late. It looked like it was clearing and the wind shifted to se and picked up a bit. I thought "here it comes" and rigged a 5.8. I had about an hour or so before dark and it gusted to 15 3 or 4 times. Bit of a dredge fest but not a total write off.

20 km away they had a good 23 knots all arvo... mysterious.

Looking good for Tuesday - NE

I saw that. WTF?

Thanks to hairycut for having a spare boom in his car, which I forgot. Also luckily he broke a (NP?) harness line just as i was about to say "@#$@!!!!!" and go home. Had lots of fun with never before seen gear, getting harness lines on and rigging, took foreeever, then very first run all was tuned just fine. what luck. You've sold me on light gear too (ezzy : ( ).

oh yeah, so 12:33 am, i am now officially (for what that's worth) recommending absinth over straight vodka. for real. super strong yet super light and vaporous.
