We are in the throes of the afternoon tides. This will be our last shot at making use of the mile course for a few days. The camera crew have gone home and the forecast was for only 19 knots. I took the opportunity to re-paint my helmet. So of course... the wind has come up and now we are rushing to hit the course. It will only be deep enough right on sunset. Nick is out on the course already in the RIB getting everything ready. We have seen that we can get over there and setup easily within half an hour when pushed. So we'll go for it and see what happens. Maybe it's just the wind playing games. If so, we can't afford to bluff.

Winds now gusting to 22 over there and the tides high enough... an hour and a half to sunset...

...let's go

C'mon Walvis... hang in there for us.

Cheers, Paul.
