Primbee, NSW, AU        The first day of four Nor-easters, are you ready team, today around 18kts.

Lake Illawarra, NSW, AU  Mistral Superlight & Regatta sail

First sail this year, yeah. Arrived at Primbee & Ken was packing up his car & going to the Yachtie, so I just tagged along. I had me Superlight with me, thought the wind was going to be gentler than it was. It wasn't. Next problem was I have no dagger board (the locating pins on it have perished due to age) so the faster the board goes the greater amount of water gushes up thru the board's dagger board opening, great.

Also found out in the NE'er, if you head towards the Yachtie from Primbee and end up on the club's western side - the wind blows directly OFF shore. BUT at least I had a sail :-)
