Morts (16066km): Shoal Bay, Princess Royal Harbour, WA, AU
Ezzy Tiger 4.7m, Sonic 56w, KA 26cm/40
Had hoped to try & put together a reasonable hour, was not to be. Storm surge pushed the tide higher than predicted so no flat at Shoal Bay & the other end is always a bit up & down. After a bit of driving back & forwards decided to have a sail at Shoal Bay.
Went with the Ezzy as I'm not sure how many more sails the 5.8 Koncept has left in & thought I'd save it for another time. Timed it perfectly for the wind to boot right up before a front arrived & be grossly overpowered, way beyond my limited capabilities. Walked back in that really stinging rain, what a great day! Just as I arrived back at shore the front passed & wind moderated a bit so being the idiot I am went for a bit of a sail.
Was actually almost controllable & got to the bank to find a bit of flatish water only trouble was there were some weedbergs & numerous strings of fairly solid weed on the surface that I kept hooking up & had to stop a few times to clear it off the fin. Did get a few decent runs which put a smile on my dial so wasn't all bad.
Saw the next front coming so piked it back to shore so I can live to sail another day
Oh yeah as far as wave sails for GPS sailing, don't recommend it unless desperate!
