Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU

FF79 and 6.6m and Delta 18.5cm. Underpowered as usual. Lake very deep and so really choppy. Result no flat water, spent most of my time going sideways. Should have used a normal weedie.

Only a couple of bareaways, the 2 sec peak ending in a spin out stack. Good crowd out for a week day (10+).

18-23kts SSW Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU- 6.6m Od + 79ltre FF + 20cm delta

Well I got well upwind and only spun out a few times..Stayed more upright over the board , was careful to try not to oversheet and luff the sail overpowered going to windward..Worked well when I was fresh but as I wore out hanging out more and less energy for finess..Only lasted c 1hr as tiring - choppy + bit overpowered at the end. Hard to get any decent speed in the chop.

Got into the flat bits but first you had to get through the weed clumps which could almost stop you so then you had 50m to get back up to speed in the flatwater and the gusts weren't really getting in there. Ended up lower down which was a bit choppy but more consistent wind. Had it by then..zzzzzzzz.

 Byron , Milsy , Frothie, Muzza ( broke mast first run)  then Andrew. Mick and Bruce rigging as I left. Would have enjoyed it more with a 6m + 30cm decent weedie at the end.. Absolutely stuffed now..zzzz

Marmong Point, NSW, AU

Exocet RS4, TR8 7.6, Vmax 41 - Wind SSW 12-15 kts

Short after work session at Marmong.   Really happy with the alpha as I was trying hard to keep knees really bent and it worked.   Bit of a swim back in at the end when the wind died off, but happy to get out after being stuck in the office all week with the westerlies howling around the building.
