Great photos.

Great pics. But do we really need another one of Walshy doing a laydown?

Great pics! I can't upload my data at the moment the card doesn't seem to register on the computer. Great shot of you from Budgy Bruce!

Some ok ones not as good as above. I'll upload over the next few days..

Super hour Byron!

15-22kts odd NE Peel st

 6m OD - 79ltre Falcon + 19cm delta. Nice to use the smaller gear for once - so much easier gybing!

It didn't start well. I rigged the 6.4m Naish Bullit and it wouldn't rotate.. Gave up in disgust. It really doesn't suit that sailworks mast so I either have to get a Naish mast and redo the battens and cams to suit or sell it cheaply and buy a KA and hope that will suit the 430 CC mast..

 Not impressed as after months of hints etc I finally pursuaded my partner to come down and take the zodiac out to get photos and it looked like I'd either be massively overpowered with the 7m or underpowered with the 6m. Steam was coming out of my ears by now as I knew he'd only be coming down once..

 Thought about rigging the 7m but Pete said I wouldn't hold it so rigged the 6m . It was actually a lovely comfortably powered session.

 I don't know what's happening but all my b sails don't seem to rotate properly lately..even rigged as usual on the right mast. the 6m has always been one of the best but the boom cam wasn't popping properly? I had to bash it with my hand.

 Maybe they have never rotated properly and I'm only just noticing?

Today was all about posing for the camera so no real bearaways. The first half hr was probably the best but G was dragging the inflatable up into position ( couldn't use the motor due to weed and rowing not good enough with the wind.)

 Felt I sailed well. No fantastic fast gybes but mostly planing ones. I have been whimping and waiting for a lull to gybe out in the chop but today decided to wait for a gust. Heaps better even surprised myself by planing through most of them.I only stacked one gybe hooking in on entry. Ow!! hurt my shin and the line had twisted tight so took a while to manage to unhook.

When I first went out I noticed I'd almost fully pulled the top 1/4 of my nail off. It was only hanging by a bit but too painful to pull off. I was worried it would affect my sailing but it was ok..UNTIL after sailing silly me asked if anyone had any scissors to cut off the protruding nail that was hitting everything and hurting like hell. Mick to the rescue with his b tin snips..B hell what part of FFFF>>>>>>>>>>>>>K!!!!!!!!!!!! don't you understand? . I thought he'd ease off after the first go but 5 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! later he was still going.. Sadist..

 Motto - don't let  Mick get near you with his tinsnips.. I kept hitting it on the car gear shift on the way home F....!!

Heaps out. I'm going to have to try and clean my clear window as it's so cloudy I could hardly see through it. Larko , powersloshin, Milsy , Mick , Frothie , Pete , Hugh , Alwyn , Paul x 2 (?) , Nigel , Tibor , Bruce and heaps more..

 Photos to come. We learnt that a SLR with heavy zoom lense and a bouncy inflatable don't make for the sharpest photos.. Still we did get some good ones. I was hoping for some gybe photos but he didn't get any but he got a video that I can analyse although the camera wasn't good at focusing.Should have used mine..

Greg sounds like a crappy time! Wallis isn't  a good place to get gear failure..Why can't it fail at Budgy?

Geez Sue, you shouldve just gone sailing instead of wasting all that great wind!!! Pics of yourself can wait

Nice sessions Lake Mac. Good to see see Byron and Greg at our local. I think Byron now has the Wallis Lake record, so great effort on the speeds achieved. Sounds loke you had a tough day Greg, but you still did me with your speed, so well done.

Larko you don't know how long I've had to work on him to get him to come and take any!

Awesome photos. Looks like a top spot.

Wishing all the Lake Mac team all the best for 2017.

Congrats on the Pbs Mick. Faster and faster good stuff mate. Nice Pics looks awesome. Shame its so far away lol. Crackin Byron and what a day Greg smokin considering. Catch you guys soon. 

Glad you liked it Dezza.. I sometimes wonder if anyone reads them
