Peli. it was rubbish wind, coupled with a rubbish gumby sailor it was crap out there. Bloody crap topped off with some drongos on the freeway North tailgating on my way home,and you guessed it, four car pile up near Hurdy Lake.  Serves the buggers right.

But got wet.

Leighton Beach, WA

A nice easy cruise with Norts that became a grovel after I snapped the top batten in the shore break and the top of the sail sadly flapped about

Love the crystal clear water at Leighton

Mistral 137, Koncept 7 (too small today), Tribal weedy 39

Watermans, 5.8 Ezzy Wave Panther, nice to use a sail thats named after a cat. It doesnt like the water.

On the verge of enough/not enough would have been fine for a coast run.

JJ - thought of leightons but figured I would save on the driving.

I honestly thought I would be bored by now of sailing mediocre condition Dutchies but I am enjoying the technical challenge of it.

Avoiding the walk of shame (there were a few people doing those today), getting planing when others are not. Maintaining speed through the corners by using the lumps and squeezing the odd ride out of knee high waves. 40Kms of sailing on a light wind day!

First time using the S1 5.9 for a while and it does have that bit more bottom end than the 5.4 Purelip although you feel the extra bit of weight in the transitions.

S1 5.9, rider quad

Melville - IS101, CR7.5, CanefFire 40.  Rigged up just as the wind dropped.
