Tough calls as the seasons change.

Today we have been tricked by the weather.
It was perhaps our last opportunity to use the afternoon tide so we watched the weather closely. Helena monitored it in as many formats as possible. As the weak neap tide flooded into the lagoon we watched the wind build. It continued to build until Helena took the RIB across to speed spot to do some wind readings. It was already hitting 22 knots. I was determined to get a run in and later tokk the RIB over myself. When the wind gusted to 24 on the TACKTICK instruments I called it off. On the last two evenings the wind had continued to build through the sunset and into the night only abating in the early morning. Not today though. The wind dropped and at sunset it was perfect SAILROCKET conditions... albeit on a lowish tide.
It's gone and got me all pissed off and I'm still pissed off. It fills me with the dreaded 'rage' of impatience.
We should be going home...but we can't.
Not if we are ever going to succeed.
We'll stay... again.
Cheers, Paul
