Beautiful morning on the water. Sunny and nice a steady wind. Surprised to see not too many people out there.

Two words WOOO and HOOO what a rush

Morning attack with Matty L timed it perfectly 18kts and not a soul around.

Chop needs to make an appointment with a pycho, it was all over the place and very confusedUndecided

Started off easy before a few downwind runs across at Peli (only semi flat water around) came across a bench seat that someone obviously didn't need anymore so beached it to higher water just to be on the safe side. Wouldn't of been a pretty sight coming across that at speed..

Matty packed it up early but I decieded to stick around just to make sure that the grin wasn't a fake one.

Few people started rocking up Macka, Pointy, Damo, Rowen but I thing that they missed the best of it.....Laughing

10 days of work, watching wind blow. today was my salvation.daydreaming of sailing all day and sore hands.

friday night wife tells me her plans for AM. no problem forcast good for whole day still have the afternoon. Arrive at river, windline out aways looks ok. rig up and out to wind. just planing run across river and back with some little gust's then it eased off. stuck at it for a while and then the boats arrived. Not planing and caught in thechurning whirlpool. Wanted to get back in but boats so frequent and speed so slow there was no chance. finally got a gust and back in, enough for me. River looking very flat when I left...

Thanks guys. I took obi one toby's advice and went for nautical mile today. I still don't know where the shallows in the river are. I did a fair bit of damage to the tip of my fin running into the sand banks. As usual I was a bit too keen to get on the water. Forgot to take my sunny's off. They must be on the bottom of the Swan now. This reminds me of the time that I found myself still having my car key between my teeth sailing out to the main break in Lancelin :-)

Nice PB's and a great day's sailing by the sounds of it. If you didn't get there too late. Or too early as in my case - plans later in the day forced a dawn arrival and unfortunately there was not enough wind during my window of opportunity. Damn

This is your captain speaking-"Your messing with my neat little PB's table- Good work and keep it up!!"

I hung the washing out muttering 7.5 7.5 7.5 and knew someone would take care of Huey for me!
