Wind speed and direction do change when you move from one grid to another.

Think it may have just changed in the last 30 mins, moved south & dropped a bit where I am.

What times does the wind change at? - I keep missing but cracking along now at 30 even without the kite, still largely going west though!

Sail change probably needed about 3am.  Maybe I'll ask the wife to do it.
 
 
 
Just wondering how you figured that out, as looking at your track, the wind direction looks pretty constant until the next forecast update??

Erm, I hadn't realised that the wind changed at set times, I thought it was a rolling forecast  Embarrassed
