2021 12 27 - Dodgy session at South Ricketts

 SSE forecast and didn't seem to be getting in at Mentone, so I figured South Ricketts would be the go.  Welcomed to the beach by Ken the lifeguard telling me that windsports are forbidden (whilst there were 3 wings on the water).  He softened slightly and told me to keep out of the swimming area (which is massive with no people).  Out on the water it oscillated in strength from 12 knots through to close to 30 and changed direction quite a bit too.  Pretty challenging and no margin for error with rocks everywhere.  Great to get out and probably great to survive.
