Yeah Wazza,
I'm pretty happy with the call mate. we got 68 mm over sat and sun and then it blew its guts out over sun Mon and even today, still a reasonable on shore wind.
We did however, sought of make it to Fraser today, we backed the boat out of the marina and went for a blurt. We stopped at Elbow Point, but still a tad windy, as the southeaster goes straight up the strait.
We ended up going up to Stewart Island, hung a right at the top, came back through Garry's Anchorage and back to the marina.
One of the guys who works there joined us a for chicken Caesar salad and a cold drink on the back of the boat. (about 2.5 hours too)
Might go out again tomorrow if its OK, as the wind will swing to the east/northeast, so much better.
The ol southeaster with an outgoing tide, tends to slop up a bit after a dose of wind.
Might even take the camera tomorrow.....
