George and I took the Passat to the Gorge and launched near Craigflower for an urban paddle as the wind was forecasted to be strong. We paddled to the harbour mouth and then out to Ogen Point and Brotchie Light. By the time we reached the harbour mouth, the winds and the waves were getting to be exciting. It was fun to test out the Passat in exciting conditions and with with two strong paddlers. We made good progress throughout. On the way back we put up two spirit sails and sailed/paddled back to Ogden Point at up to 12 kph! From ogden point back to the habour we were sailing only at around 8 kph. The sails worked well!
The winds at ogden point were around 15 knots, gusting 20…
