Yesterday we new the weather would be coming from the SSW at speeds of 30knts with gusts reaching 40-50knts, not ideal when you need to be pushing East.

On the bright side though we were entertained by a live concert "Wind and Waves at Sea" It was pretty loud and one of the more involving live concerts we have been too.
