Northerlies all morning on the trees at my place in Mareeba so I rang James Drinnan for a local weather report . It was not good,south easterlies, cold and cloudy in Atherton so I decided to not bother and texted Billy and Fred to not bother driving up to the tablelands as there was no way they would get a sail. By 2 Pm the northerly gusts in Mareeba were consistent and strong so I decided to go for a look anyway. Janes said he would be there between 2 and 3. Arrived at Tinaroo at 2:30, no James and enough breeze to tempt me so I rigged up and hit the water at 3 pm. The wind was 13-14 with gusts up to 15-16 knots for an hour then it died at 4:15.
