Albany, WA, AU. Went down once the dial was reading 19kts. The plan was to do some high wind quadrification experiments in Shoal bay then sail at Lilacs once the tide was optimal. Wind progressively dropped to bugger all so went to got some lunch and met Boz at Lilacs for a chat. Lots of rain but no wind. Dial went to 25kts but didn't look like it from Lilacs so back to Shoal bay for look...solid 12 kts there...waited and waited then finally maybe 20 kts..walked out for the experiments...totally freezing but within 3 minutes wind had died again so that was a lost cause. Back to Lilacs where Dangermouse was busy rigging but Boz wasn't convinced. He spat the dummy and headed home. I rigged only to keep Dan company as there was only 10 kts..was already frozen to the bone....looked like was gonna be a complete skunking. Poz out first and got planning so I followed. Quite gusty wind but nice/optimal tide and got a few good runs in. Hands were so cold couldn't feel anything. In the end thought the fingers were getting frostbite as all the tips turned white so called it. Hot shower and curry gonna be good. iSonic97, 5.7KAR, FF22(18)

Short little session with Flex out the front of Lilacs in a gusty SW'str. He's covered it all in his writeup so won't repeat the detail here. A bit of fun but bloody cold. Hot shower and a curry out with Flex and his parents will make me forget the pain. Boz & Ronnie, you didn't miss much and you were right, the tide dropped very fast!
