Melville Beach, WA, AU

Good short fun blast. Smaller turn out than yesterday with the usual suspects in almost summer like sailing conditions. Still very gusty but some ever tempting flat water over the sand bar. Unfortunatelyy couldn't seem to line up the gust.

strong winds with big gusts but few lulls. most people were rigging 5.5 or 6m. got out and hit my top speed on the first run. Then as I got tired wrestling with the sail I didnt bother bearing away anymore and just tried to hold on.

One guy got his X-trail SUV stolen while he was riggin up. Should avoid putting the key under the wheel arch.

Safety Bay, morning session and Melville for a quick late blast at around 3:30. 

Hit the beaver around 9 and the tide was lapping the jetty, which meant there was plenty of rolling chop on the run. Never really overdone on the 5.7, but gave it an hour or so just to be sure the wind wasn't going to boot in, and then changed up to 6.3. Lucky too, because as the tide dropped the wind backed off. Got one 37 and a few 36s spread pretty evenly between the 5.7 and 6.3 (peak on the 5.7 earlier). Jammed in a lunch engagement in East Freo and then off the Melville for about 30-40 mins at the end of the day. Pretty good way to spend a Sunday, really  No NMs today sadly, best one had 2 gybes in it.
