Well done Joe!
10 Welsh points.

I would have said less looking at the still pic. Blowing NNE f6-7 for
previous three days. 2.5-3 metres sea. Looking back towards Dublin,
approaching Wicklow head. SOG about 12 kts with only 1/3 foresail
out, no main but about 4-5kts. tide with us.

Heading for start of Celtic Challenge 2004.

OK, all you Internet sailor , expert wave / wind speed
predictors. For 10 points, tell me the wind speed in these
pics. Pics a1-4 are same time, different angles, one day,
pics b1-5 are same thing, different day. For 5 bonus points
name the exact heeling angle.
