*** GALE WARNING IN FORCE ***

 

While sailors like a bit of wind, a gale warning is not the best of news for the weekend, as the predicted south west blows into Russell  making it not the best place to anchor for BBQing. I digress.

Coastal # 4 2-handed for Rob and I on Coppelia, and again we have a similar forecast, southwest winds decreasing as the day continues. So we are pretty happy with the wind conditions, what is not so easy to deal with is the 3 deg C low temperature predicted in the Bay of Islands on Friday night. I am off soon to find the rest of my warm clothes.

We may be using the tracker on the site, however at the moment we have not got it working, otherwise I will txt in when I can.
