THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN Smile A really good afternoon out at Kyeemagh. Wind was blowing 25-30 knots with some bigger gusts at times. Water was relatively flat which was suprising given the wind strength... Was on my 93 ltr S-type and my 6.0 Daytona. Got some good runs in, trying to sqeeze out as much speed as I could. Was a bee's preverbial away from breaking some of my PBs, but oh well, that's life. Still nothing will take away what a great session especially to be sailing with the regular crew WOOOO HOOOOO!

It was a great day sailing today. Started on my 7.8 and 90L TB62. Got the sail really dialed and i was amazed that it was managable in 25 knots. Then down to the 6.2 an 80L slalom (TB58). It was quite comfortable sailing fast today as the water wasn't too bumpy. Unfortunately when i looked at my GPS after which i thought was a blistering run, it was off, batteries dead. but got some good speed reading anyhow.

Grant thanks. We decided that Pittwater Punters was a too location specific which made it more difficult to recruit new members so it was put to the board and name was changed. 

I'm afraid that the windsurfing holiday is coming to an end. I just bought a commercial property (should exchange today) which needs some work and then looking at some business opportunities. So I'm going to get pretty busy in the next few weeks. Frown  However i will keep my hours wind flexible at least until the end of the season.

I was up at narabeen lakes on Sunday for a social / windsurf. North Shore sailing, now I know what I've been missing! Wink

Great to read about you two really going for and really enjoying the sailing. Thats what the Challenge all about. Here is hoping for a lot more sailing this month and this year. It looks like we are going to get some more members from the mid north coast in the near future so we may try and organise some trips up there. Currently second for the month behind the Canterbury Kiwi team. Well done. Yeah the Punters name wasn't really working so Des, Jon, Geoff and I kicked around a few names. Picked the Demerits as it has connotations with speed, being a bit cheeky and we can utilise RTA advertising. Such as "How fast are you going now?"
