Another top day at the Muddy Lake! Wind around 25 knots with gusts pushing 30. Wind was SSW at the start but went  close to SSE by the end. I just circled around at %mile trying to get a good 5-by and it payed off. A new Port tack 5X10 PB!

At the end I saw Izzak tear off at ballistic speed straight down the guts of the lake. I was half expecting to see a glorious crash but he made it, so I thought I would give it a try for a NM. It was OK for the first few hundered meters and then it got really rough. The fin and bosrd felt fine despite the hammering so I kept going. It was nice to get into the flat water near Cockies and saw a 3 knot jump in speed as soon as I got in the flat. It was a struggle to stay broad enough to avoid running aground and I started to lose ithe wind at the end. Luckily, I just make the NM distance. Very happy with that. Thanks Izzak for the inspiration! 

It was great to see all the excitement and smiles today. There was a great vibe around amongst a lot of great people. That is what really made the day for me!
