If there is a merciful god up there...please let there be good wind as well ![]()

Looking forward to a weekend off work for once and getting out for a blast to clear away the cobwebs
. Pray to the wind gods to bring it on. ejm if we can hook up I give you a go on the mistral you will be using in Fiji - mine is in a little better condition though!![]()
Okay it's hot enough but the wind doesn't seem to be getting above 15 knots, 12 currently... And now I hear the first drops of rain on the roof![]()
Probably should of gone out this morning...
Anyone been/going out?
Well I went out
, first time since Summer.
After complaining of too little wind I got to St Kilda to find low to mid 20 knot winds and very strong gusts, not the best conditions for an amateur like me, especially since I was the only one out there.
At one stage I realised if I didn't get the sail up soon I was going to be quickly blown out to sea. It's all part of the fun of it I guess.
I finally called it a day when I saw the only other animal in the water was a penguin, lol.
Old Salty and I ended up at Lysterfield Lake. Figured it would be too strong for us out in the bay. Morning started well (although I rigged too big) with probably 15 knots winds gusting to 20. Came in to change down to a 6.5 and that was it for the rest of the day, wind died, teased us a bit and then died again. Packed up around 4 I think.
