2 days all dressed up but too much wind!
The good news is that the wind is very definitely back. Trouble is that there is too much.
For the second day in a row we got all geared up and ready to roll... but didn't hit the water. Just as the tide came in enough to allow us to cross the Lagoon... the wind picked up to what I feared was above our range. I continued to take wind readings out on the point of the yacht club. There are three young pelicans there using the point as a place to strengthen their wings in preperation for flying. They have come from a sort of open air rehabilitation sanctuary where they are looked after but are free to come and go on their own terms.
Cheers, Paul.

Helena went over to speed-spot in the RIB to double check conditions on the actual course and verified that the wind was reaching 25 knots. We were forced to bin the day. The covers came back down over Sailrocket. We are already getting itchy to get back on the water. Everything is ready but the tides are getting later in the day. The SW wind was already blowing this morning which usually indicates that it is really going to howl in the afternoon. As usual, we will wait and see.Cheers, Paul.
