Ado (4489km):  2 categories   Sandy Point. Easterly 28-32knots with Daffy and Rupert. KA Koncept 5.0. Mistral Speed 41. Tribal Assy 18. Pushing things to the limit today between the sand bars. We squeezed out 7-8 runs before the tide dropped out too far and made running the gauntlet outright dangerous. Amazed at the speeds, but they were only possible by running into the choppy channel with balls sucked tightly in.

Sailquik (29582km):  5 categories    One of the strongest easterlies I have seen for years. Solid 28-30. I stopped when the tide got dangerously low for the speed course, went home to fix a broken top batten, and when I came back and started to re-rig my 2016 5.0m Koncept Ado said "you got to be crazy! It's at least 5 knots sronger now and manybe more in the gusts! " So I rigged the brand new 4.6m Koncept and went out. I was pretty much out of control. I tried the speed course but it was too choppy at the start with the tide coming in and I spun out on entry both time and chickened out. After being flogged for about half and hour I gave up. I recon the wind was gusting 40 easy by then. I can't remember when we have had an easterly like that in the last 7 or 8 years! If this El-Nino is the reason, we could be in for some more big ones all summer! 44.69 Peak speed is definitly a PB for me on an Easterly. As usual we had the thread the needle between a few dangerously shallow small sandbars and it got too dangerous close to the low tide. I was one run short of a much better 5x10 so room for improvement left there! I need to get out there with a shovel and do some gardening on the next super low tide! CA 40, Tribal 18 assy, 2016 KA Koncept 5.0m.
