Morning, the sun is shining and we have afresh northeast to east wind first thing. This wind will ease and a seabreeze will develop. Looking like calm conditions around lunchtime as that wind changes direction. High tide is quarter to four this afternoon.
Saturday was out of the question with wind and rain. Sunday dawned sunny but windy. Still we managed to sneak a paddle in on the high tide. Rebecca and Kelsie enjoyed the sheltered conditions and wre brave enough to go for a swim.
