Frostbites cancelled - a good call

Faced with a forecast of 40+ knots and with 30+ already seen on the water, the DMYC Frostbites committee cancelled everything at about 10am on Sunday.

It was a good call. But if you'd been in Dun Laoghaire at about 1245 and seen Shane MacCarthy's Solo and the cream OK Dinghy out becalmed in the harbor, you'd have had doubts.  Suffice it to say that the committee may even have had 2nd thoughts at that stage but their decision was spot on, correct, and absolutely the right one.

The wind came back with a vengeance, accompanied by powerful gusts and BIG shifts as the wild westerly started to supersede the swooning southerly.  By start time there was Force 8 in the harbor. And  more to come.

DLHweather.com's charts show the tempting dip in the windstrength and then the full and total validation of the committee's decision to cancel. Good call guys!
