Not sure whether it's worth going. could be on the water in 20 minutes but it could be gone in 21

any ideas?

it will last long enough for you to rig and get into your wetsuit...

Looks like it hasn't. < 20 knots all round the bay, I don't think it will get any better with all this rain either.

it has gone already.

Just as an aside, does anyone look at the strength vs the maximum gust?

As a guess, if it's a squall, then the speed of the gust is the speed of the wind whereas if it has just increased, then you'd expect a gust on top of the strength

I was this close (holds thumb and forefinger a bees dicks apart) from throwing on the wetty and heading out. I had such a terrible sailing afternoon yesterday I decided I couldn't go through the slog again. Did some grocery shopping instead.

..and thank goodness. Seems it was a flop.

You all missed out!

I was on a 5.3m Carve 99 and having a ball at Pt Danger.
Bit of a swell and high tide.

Others were there on smaller.
Sailed from 5:30pm - 8pm

Beautiful and unexpected.
