Wasn't that bad here. I finally got out on Georges Bay today and even though it was gusty, it was rideable. I'm always amazed that the weather changes so much down here, we are only about 200 odd k's from you and the wind was totally different.

Nice numbers there Izaak - was the tide low enough for the run to the island to be working?
