A Southerly change has come through in the last few days and warmed things up a little. Waves have picked up again and looks like they will stay with us for a few days. A light South West wind blowing this morning has increased to 18/20 knots this evening, although saying that the waves aren't fully chopped up but a little messy.
Weekends forecast on wind guru is looking very good with 30/40 knot winds blowing in from the SW,which should make for some nice wave sailing conditions kicking off on Friday, SW 28/38 knots and peaking on Saturday morning, 34/44 knots. Looks like It's time to break out my new 4.2 Ice HD with that forecast looming.
Ever since the winter solstice we have been gaining a little more day light hours every day, just about 2 minutes a day. Not much in the scheme of thing that occur in our busy working day, but after a while it all add ups. For instance I'll soon no longer go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. Which can only mean one thing, more time in the water after work. So with that in mind I managed to get a quick surf in to night and got those mussels and lungs working before nuking Friday hits us and I swap by long board for a sailboard. After last weeks baltic blast from the north there's still a nasty chill in the air after surfing at this time of evening and opening the van door with numb fingers was fun. Been out the water for a few hours now and my toes are just coming back to life.
Mid winter.
Christmas and New Year are a thing of the past.
Every thing is on sale at 50% off .
And nothing but Easter stands between us and Summer.
Roll on day light saving.
Sorry no new pics, so here's an old one of Gary and myself sharing the shoulder from last Autumn on a small day on T'other.
