Andrew Daff (9318km):
5803 days ago My hunch was correct. gusting well over 30 knots here now ENE. (3.45pm Sunday).
Mid morning the wind was 25+ but quite gust and shifty with a bit of ESE in it (turbulence from the Prom.)
Right around low tide at about 12.30pm the wind swung E and then slightly ENE and increased. By the time the tide had ruined the speed course with chop at 2.30pm the wind was gusting over 33 knots on the beach which probably means over 35 out on the course! It actually seems stronger now back at the house. The chop down there must be horrendous by now.
I went for a blast on my Acid 74 at the end but since I had left my wave sails at home I used the Koncept 4.4m Speed sail. It worked pretty well but the wave sail would have been nicer in the gybes (and the odd water start  )
Before that I was trying for Alphas and managed a couple around 27 knots. With the shifty, gusty wind it was just not quite prefect so I am very happy with that. 
Alphas done on IS 87, Time Machine Speed 26 and '09 5m KA Koncept.
Speed runs done on IS50, Lockwood 22 proto assy and 09 5m KA Koncept.
