Decided to head to the local mud pit with B1 for a late arvo sail. Wind looked to be just enough on arrival, but as we were rigging up, the wind started to rapidly drop right off. Being glass half full, I decided to just get on the board and head out further to check things out. And very happy to have done so. Once out into the blue, the wind kicked back in a little and there was a definite wind line with enough puff to be up and scooting around. Ended up being a suprisingly fun little session.
Wind actually picked up some more after 4pm coming in more onshore so fortunately I was able to sail nearly all the way back to point on the plane.
Spotted a couple of anchored floating pontoons a fair way out from the creek mouth with quite a few buoys scattered around them... Beware if you are out sailing around near these as the buoys have some pretty heavy duty floating ropes attached to them.
B1, I think it is fair to say one will never be able to figure out the weather...
