A world record attempt on Friday the 13th??? Well we haven't had much luck weather-wise during this record session so we will take it whenever it comes. Unusual amounts of rain inland have affected the normal 'flows' of wind up the coast. It's becoming tiring as we are all sitting around making work and itching to get wet. Forecast winds keep moving away from us like a mirage and when we finally catch them they have usually weakened to the point where we don't even go out.

Well hopefully today will be different!

The tides and the forecast all look great and VESTAS SAILROCKET sits patiently outside all locked and loaded. The course will be good from 2 p.m. onwards.

When we came down this time we felt that we would only need to book one 28 day WSSRC ratified record attempt as that should be all we needed... but experience made us plan for a second one just in case. We have less than a week left of the first one. I think that our performances over the three runs we have done have shown that we are well within the ballpark. A couple of good days here could really see us nail this.

So fingers crossed and thumbs held for today to pan out.

Here's a pic. of the 'crows-nest' where Helena will be taking pictures from.

Cheers, Paul.
