GPS Team Challenge - The Wannabees (WA, Australia)

iso94, jet7.4, gw33 Really needed bigger board. spent 4 hrs at the river to get that distance. Wind was ok when I got there, rigged up then squall hit for 15 min, after that nothing waited another hr for some decent wind. Not enough volume to make the most of it. Oh so slow and never in the right position to take advantage of gusts still good to get out and have a sail after yesterdays failed attempt. lot's of familiar faces out trying to wash away the bad smell of work. I'm thinking next stop bigger board.
