Whyalla, SA, AU

Thommen 115 Freex, 4.7 Blade and 15-30kts

I got a sail in before work so that was good. Its a bit hard to say what would have been a good size sail today. Rigged for the wind at the start. And the 4.7 was good in the heavy bits but nowhere near enough in the lulls. Or got good gusts in the last few metres of a run.

All good fun.

Northerly turned SW right on time, but came in harder than forecast which left us lumpy and gusting up to 25kts.Took the 78l Falcon along with the Hellcat 5.2 and a BP32.5. Really tough conditions to dial in today, and lucky if I got half my gybes. Also coped a violent catapult but helmet soaked it up. Came in when lightning struck in the distance but too knackered to really carry on anyway.

So yeah, a hard day on the water, fighting all the way, but good to be out on this (technically) last day of summer. Solid turn out, and ChrisD and Kimba dropped by, good to see those lads again.

Quick spur of the moment recon sail with Yetti to show him around the local strip. It was a dam relaxing sail not to windy not too ruff just right for a lazy comfy sail as little bear said this bed is just right called the session quits with a  black cloud comming over & it felt like it was going to drop out sailed in  just as it was dropping off, good call yetti has a great sail kina likes our rigging area even it he complained about the  walk down over the rock wall Funny combo for me as I left the isonic home   CA 101 5.8 Koncept 32 Lessacher duo weedi 17-20 southerly

Great last day of summer.  Hoping to get down to lake george this weekend to try out the new 5m but the forecast looked average.  Contemplated heading to sail with Tricky and Hoppy at Stansbury but forecast looked too late - so headed to the trusy Boggy Lake.  Should of taken the new 5m to boggy as the wind was 20 - 25 knots but left it at home.  Very choppy but great fun up the top near the reeds - shame was not as windy as in the middle.

Good crew out today and great to see Chris D and Kimba - great to hear Chris is back on the mend and back on the water in a couple of months .

Boggy lake - 20 - 25 knots.

Another unhappy day. Wind a lot stronger than predicted. Overpowered on the the  106l board with the 5.5 KA Race and 35cm fin. First time on the KA, felt so good,  just too big a board. The roughest I've seen it a Boggy. Had a few good runs though. Didn't try to get over to reed beds as figured too difficult to get back in such strong wind.

Smashed my should up on the last run plus lost my prescription sunglass's earlier at the launching area   but still had fun.

First sail for the year and the last for summer.  Good to catch up with the Boggy crew and Chris D, noice wheels mate!

Boggy Lake -20-25

Very short sail found it had big wholes in it. Was rigged perfect for the gusts but was dead in the water in the lulls unfortunatlly I found there was more lulls than gust. But the 5.7m Apeex which I was using for the first time was feeling great powered up un the gusts.
