Wayno (16997km):
2912 days ago Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU arrived at 11am and it was WNW about 8-12 knots so I rigged up my biggest gear HSM 8.0 GPS + JP 122L and 21cm Delta.
By the time I got out it was down to 5-10 knots but I still managed to get a few minor squirts every once in a while. Nice and warm as well.
Definately need a Delta at the moment - don't think a weedie would be suitable unless you stayed well out near the marker buoys. There are massive weed islands in close due to the prevailing wind direction, so I tried to stay further upwind to avoid them, not enough grunt to get through them today. Came in after just over an hour as it was dropping ike a lead baloon.
After missing the last windy day (yesterday) I was determined to have a sail today and I did......house renovations can wait.
Cheers Marauders.
