Woohoo!

Got down to the beach a while after sunset, carpark was full of cars 50+ easy. Of that 50, 45 would have left dissappointed. Clouds were thick on the horizon and patchy everywhere else. Most people were looking in the wrong direction. After a few mins I glimpsed Venus for about 2 secs but I now knew where to look.
A few mins later I got a gap in the cloud and got a great view thru 7x50's for 30secs or so before the clouds covered it up again. Very nice curved tail.
A few mins later and it appeared again for 15secs or so, easily naked eye.
Photo's impossible due to cloud and very gusty breeze.
Looking forward to tomorrow night, hope the weather clears up.
