I reckon the Captain and Wysey should have some decent numbers from the Pond today. Sam was on the little Falcon speed. It was a usual Sydney westerly, gusty and anything from 5 knots to over 25 so who knows??
Leo is probably down south so he will be crankin' out the speeds too.
I could only watch for a bit, too frustrating not being able to sail.

Was windy in the illawarra, there were wind meters out and I saw one with a peak of 54kts...I reckon it was windier at times At the end of the day I couldn't de-rig my gear...a massive squall came through for about 15 minutes, I had to sit on my gear on the grass to stop it blowing away...was ridiculous haha...almost lost a car door too

It certainly was a great afternoon at Lake Illawarra. Really good turnout around 12 there.
