Fun sunny easterly with morts, shane, cliff and young fergus. Great to see an easterly in mid April. The wind was forecast to be 14kts max and was about that. Gusty for Albany it was great to be on the warer. Morts said we needed distance and I was hesitant as i have a nasty cough but it did not appear during the arvo on the water. At the end we ran out of wind but it was good sailing up until then.

Stretch I probably would hit the back button on your browser about ......... now!

Had plans of eating pies & watching the footy until I received a sms from Steve asking if I was sailing today. Thought he must have been delirious from all that flying around the world he'd been doing recently but when I checked Seabreeze there was to my surprise steady Yellow arrows

Had just finished rigging when someone in Steve's van pulled up & a doppleganger of Steve got out. When he spoke though it sounded nothing at all like Steve, more like someone who'd smoked about 1000 ciggies one after the other. Wind was blowing so that mystery could be left for later.

The wind for the first & last 25km was pretty marginal with lots of holes in it but the middle 100kms was quite pleasant but still some little lulls. Good weather for the big board & was able to sail for about the first 2.5hrs without a break as I foolishly thought I won't stop until Steve does or I drop a gybe. I forgot that when Steve does distance rest breaks are a luxury  

Unexpected good conditions make for very enjoyable sails
