The week shapes up... but so does the swell!
Hi all,
So now the high tides have moved back through into the afternoon and the breeze looks set to return after a brief absence. One worrying aspect is that a swell of over 5 meters is predicted to be rolling up the coast. Typically we get the residual swell from this that wraps around Pelican point and rolls up to 'Speed-spot'. If the tide and wind is right then we can actually get substantial breaking waves across the lagoon.
Hopefully we can get out today... we'll see about tomorrow.
Meanwhile l'Hydroptere is getting put together down in Toulon and another Australian project is getting prepared to hit the water in 'WotRocket'! The latter sounds pretty wide of the mark... but perhaps they are working an angle that we haven't considered. I can't see them achieving the levels of efficiency they will need to make the boat work... but whatever... the more the merrier.
Cheers, Paul.
