Pt Longnose, Horse Peninsula, SA, AU

Patrik 145, OD 7.8, BP FR Delta 22.5cm 10-13kt then building up to 20..

What a great sail. Tested out a new spot and clocked up a few km's. No great speeds 

Apart from the couple of channels there is nice calmish, clear, warm water with plenty of room and good wind with a sea breeze. Always a but though. There is a local pointer so its best not fall off in the 2km channel between the car and the sailing zone.

What a nice combo for nice shallow water I was only having a couple of issues spinnout towards the end when the wind was up and I was trying to push things a bit harder. Which wasn't good for the trip back through the big channel in the big slop as I had somehow lost my screwdriver during the session and couldn't change to something to a fin a bit more slop friendly. A very slow and careful tripback was had.
