Aim of the session was to get some klms up. It wasn't to be. Was either over powered or dogging. Very little in between. However looking forward to seeing Steve's and jacques distance. They were fully committed and hung in there where I finally admitted defeat. Still, any day on the water is good.

What a day it turned out to be, some of the craziest wind shifts i've seen in a long time, one point we were sailing from side to side then it would drop a bit and come in so we were sailing from end to end at the lake. hard day on the water. when it would change it would come in strong making me way over powered. then i got catapulted twice to remember, the first one i have no idea what happend but one second i was sailing then the next i was shooting into the water head first and striaght into the mud, not a nice experience, quite frankly i sh!t my pants trying to get out!Surprised. Then the next belting along i just got flung, hit the water in my harness still, feeling my body bending ways it wasn't designed to go, only to pick my rig up with two broken batternsFrown. After that i had to finish 20nm on the 6.4, which was out of control 60% of the time, way overpowered not nice at all, but the mission was completed!!!Cool

Started earlyish at Pt Henry and then after lunch (and the wind shift) moved to the lake.  Not really the best day to knock up the km's as the wind never really settled on a speed nor direction.  10/10 funniest thing was seeing both of Jacques' legs poking straight out of the water (like a handstand) after his stack ... I didn't know at the time his face was stuck in the mud ... but, to his credit, he came up with a big weed filled smile!!

Massive effort on the distance Jacques. Even more so considering what you went through. Wetsuits going to need a decent rinse by the sounds of it! Wink

Congrats on the distance Jacques. After the first one it seems easier to knock up 100k's in a session.

Well done Jacques.

Was good to catch up with you Geoff, even though I didnt get on the water today. Soon I hope. Did you use the new fin?

Hey Jacques, great PB under very trying conditions. When it was obvious I was not going to be able to contribute to the miles you and Sherm were putting together, I just resigned myself to alternating between cups of tea, slogging or getting blown off of the water.  When I think about your off and getting buried in the mud, I get this mental picture of a skiing fall where all you can see of the skier is too legs poking out of a snow bank. Very funny, but the difference being you can still breath under snow. For those reading this post and not across the conditions we sail in at the lake, to give you an indication of Jacques predicament, imagine you are standing chest deep in the water, which sounds fine, until you realise the mud is all the way up to your crotch.  

Thanks for the encouragement Desrepit. They were two very determined boys.
