I'm gonna try and keep this up to date, given that I can see Dorans all day from where I work, I thought I might post my eyeball observations. Even if I cant sail cause I'm working.

Today at 9:30
Solid WNW blowing around 20 maybe 25kts in the gusts

Yeah, how hard can it be?

If I can set one up to look IN my neighbour's window, surely you can set one up to look OUT yours...

It's finally staring to fill in.

looks a little light at the moment about 10 knots, but the flags are definitely flying and showing due west.
I'll be heading over about 1

Well it's windy,
Very gusty cold and southerly

If you're still keen perhaps Mortimer would be the go

Not willing to take the risk of ripping a fin out hitting ice. Besides my heated dry suit is not working

You've got to stop using the batteries for your other personal devices.
Keep them for the suit, that's the oinlky warm spot you need.

Looks like a couple of days of typical Doran's gusty frontal stuff
If it hadn't been so crap lately I wouldn't be so keen.
Yesterday was fun, peak wind from around 2-4

I'll be trying to get there around 2 or 3 today and tomorrow
