Hi Simon,

I know how you feel waiting for your Blade, but I am sure it won't take as long as my first sail <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />. Welcome to a very exclusive group in OZ, I am sure you will love every minute of it. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

My next sail on the Blade will be with a water temp of around 23 degrees, you can count on the air temp being lower though, I have sailed the Sauna Sail with snow on the surrounding hills, requiring a balaclava. Quite often have ice on the boats from overnight frosts at this regatta. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I am sure it couldn't be cold enough to keep you off your new Blade in Adelaide. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
