Race 1: Monday 8th February 2010

Summary: Mostly steady westerlies in the 6-9 knot range with early rain-overcast.

The breeze starts due west at about 6-9 knots with light rain and cool temperatures of 9 degrees Celsius. The day's high will be 10 degrees and although the rain showers ease off in the afternoon stays stubbornly in that 6-9 knot range. It will be a bit flukey from time to time as the breeze is coming off the landmass and may swing around to the NW later in the afternoon and freshen up to about 15 knots. It will feel like 8 degrees Celsius out on the water.
 

Tuesday 9th February 2010

Summary: Breezy Nor'Wester at 17-19 knots - skies clearing.

Academic as it's a rest day apparently...but after moving toward WNW from Due West in the previous afternoon - the wind begins out of the NW quarter at around 17-19 knots. Skies are clearing overhead although it remains very untropical at 10 degree high for the day. The wind will continue to move toward NNW in the afternoon and begin to east to about 15 knots by sunset.
 

Race 2: Wednesday 10th February 2010

Summary: morning 9-12 knots NNW easing to 8-10 by early afternoon.

Very chilly, it will feel just above freezing out on the water possibly below with the apparent wind on the behemoths out there in the morning. Clear skies mean it will warm to a bracing 8 degrees Celsius in the afternoon but the flukey breeze will ease to about 8-10 knots from WNW - later in the afternoon it may swing around further to NNW and it will cool off quickly to about 6 degrees.
