Independence Day Sailing on Woodside

July 4th (in U.S.) and strong ESE Winds in NZ (from about 120 deg) meant perfect conditions at Woodside. Surfdale was too sheltered.

4.7 on the Kombat and some major swell in the Tamaki Strait! Of course no one else was on the water. It was a bit cool and I wore my triathlete (full body) wet suit for the first time just in case I had to spend any time in the water. Luckily the equipment, wind, and body held up for about 5 or 6 reaches into the channel.

Prediction is for continued strong winds through Thursday...
