Out for a Sunday sail

Good sail up the harbour. Blowing norwest so sail out between 7 and 8 knotts. I saw a 8.3 at one stage. Died out to nothing at the end so motored the last km.

the return from pidgeon bay

it was a trip of changing winds. left pidgeon bay with almost no wing. wind out of the bay was a good gust norwester. so furled the head sail a bit. got to Littleton heads and tge wind disappeared. next thing 20 knott southerly straight down the harbour. got back to my mooring fine. was a good weekend out.

A winters night at pidgeon bay

nice wind blowing up the harbour so spent an hour tacking out. once the heads were cleared it was a nice sail through to pidgeon bay. got a bit chilly overnight. thinking I'm going to need to install the heater.
