Hello Friends,
Getting back into the routine as the jet lag gradually wears away. Huey kindly isn’t tempting me away from the to do mountain this morning. Dee Why is not exactly a picture of pure fun. I take my metaphorical hat off to those hardy types who were having a lash at the waist to chest high junkiness.
Swell’s outta the SE at a couple metres but the all important frequency setting is only 8 seconds.
The wind’s not much help either. It’s out’ve the ESE at 10-15 kts now and is expected to hold around that level but to swing more to the ENE… blergh.
more thoughts in a bit about the outlook…
