Great to get out on my day off fun sail until I forgot to clip in the mast base right in after adjusting the downhaul board flew one way and I collect the sail at speed no real damage apart from a knee dent in the lower panel sore elbow and grazed neck, had to swim after the board eventually caught up with it but couldn't get the base back in lost the board again and ended up staying with the sail as it was sinking.Got rescued by local life guard(Hamma) and drove around the lake to get the board put it all back together and continued sailing.There were a few guys out on jetskis and I can only say they were real helpful they all can't be that bad.

Wind was up and down went out in the morning with Dog some of the gusts were strong but just too square to get any sort of speed fun in the flattish water though.

Lake Bonney gusts 28knts  RS 2    30cm    5.9m

Boggy Lake, SA, AU

Tough but fun day on the lake. Initially I was on the 30cm Rocket with the 79l Fanatic and a 5.2 Hellfire and later tried again with the 32.5 BP. Not set up brilliantly, I struggled in some of the gusts and got violently reaquainted with catapults a few times after losing the fin on the back of heaving chop. (Whaaa..SPLAT! Ooofff!)

Made me physically work hard for it today, between sudden gusts and the rolling chop.

Stunned I didn't get a better alpha, one gybe I did I came in sooo much faster than I ever have and punched out the other side. Presumably missed the 50m mark.

All in all a good day with Sam (who was observed smashing the sound barrier on a F2 missile) and Leon (who makes it all look too easy).
