What you talkin about Willus?

we've just had 33-40knots SW

Some may say that was the sum total spread over 8 hours but they'd be wrong!!

Went down to Australind, wind was solid at times, just not the optimum direction.

Still nice to finally time it right, the last 3 days have been a wee bit frustrating getting down there just as it's shut down.

graph for Melville shows it was 15/20 knots.

i was on 5.0m fully downhauled and in gusts had to sail upwind or sheet out.

had to stop after 1 hour,forearms were dead.

15/20 maybe with 25/30 gusts.

The graph for Melville always underreads by at least 5 knots in a norwester, so 20 -25 plus gusts. Does that sound more like it?
The anemometer is toward Peli and is somewhat sheltered in a NW.
