I am so sick of the Sydney wind I am going to a real winter wonderland tomorrow, Japan. Weather permitting I should be shloosing down the slopes, having snowball fights and making a snowman on Monday. I will top it off by having a bath with some snow monkeys

Which side of the point is best in these conditions?

i'll suggest that seeing that the breeze is coming from the west, then sail on the western side of the point so that you get blown back to land rather than out to sea, well that'd be my preference anyway

it is not possible really to sail the eastern side in a westerly as it is in a huge wind shadow,

the western side along the bank is the go in a westerly, if it does end up being strong and from the NW then there will be lots of chop around at high tide.

it is a very strange timne of year to get a NW-W-SW wind so hopefully it happens.

wello rocks in those wind conditions.

took the kids to wello for a swim anyways. dead calm water was a lake.

the car is still packed so when this southerly vhange hits later this arvo i'm goin to VP.

i can't believe the bom could be so wrong. how can a 15-20 knot increasing to 20-25 forecast see us get 2 knots.
