June, Allan, Eileen and I went for a afternoon sail out to Motuihe, on a northerly, tacking up, against the tide and wind. The gulf was very quiet, hardly anyone sailing ! Wonder why... We saw some big black clouds coming through but missed most of the rain. Windwise it was perfect with Bean rock reporting 12-16 knots, so full main and jib were appropriate for the conditions. Dropped off Mum and Allan at the beach, and let them take some photos, in the rain... along with thunder and lightning... ! Another yacht club was out sailing and joined us out at Motuihe, and they had setup a BBQ tent and eveything. Nice downwind sail back to the Tamaki estuary. Stress level of day 5/10 - not too bad !
