Holloways Beach, QLD, AU

Quick little sail between a early knockoff and kiddy pickup, nice direction for the first time in ages, wind was still a bit lighter inside but a lot better than it has been.

Used Isonic 90, Overdrive 7.0 and Viper 36

Port Douglas, QLD, AU     Decided to make the effort to go for an afternoon sail..there was a nice breeze blowing and was tempted to rig smaller gear and use small board, but wasn't sure if the wind was gunna hang around so my rule is if in doubt ''rig big'..Was having a fully powered up blast on 117 Isonic with 7.7m Neil Pryde  rig  cranked down hard and 44cm Drake fin.Saw a big shark about 2m long cruising  out wide just below the surface, blasted strait over the top of him..Think it's the one that has been looking for 'Gaza and his red Jaffa' since last weekend.... Snapped a harness line just on half time which annoyed me  a bit as it is the second set of chinook lines i have broken this season,gunna go back to using North ones ,as i can always get a season out of them..Lost half an hr of sailing time as well putting my last spare line on..Wind came up to a solid 20kts  out wide and i was maxed out till sundown..Didn't miss any gybes and didn't spend any time in the drink was happy with the way i sailed.. Andrew came out for a blast and did a quick sail change down to a 7m and was 'fully lit up' on  big Isonic...Not a bad session but was a bit shagged by the end ...Cheers Ed..
