Melville Beach, WA

Good to catch up with the locals, a solid 25 knots of wind out in the middle

A bit too choppy around the 3/4 mark during the NM to keep the little fin in the water, but good fun

Another change in scenery. Cloud came in and there was a drizzle of rain, shame to lose the aqua blue colour in the bay. Best spot was Hansen Bay. I started out further towards the boat moorings where it was pretty rough but luckily i saw a familiar North Warp sail further toward Hansen Bay so i tacked up to see Isaac who let me know the best place to be. Very memorable stop over at the island with a couple of seals hanging around but one very curious young one wanting to check us out. Great Day

Went for a few downwinders when there was less traffic on the sandbank with the 6.2 then changed down to the 5.5 when the wind picked up. Went for a hour and was hard work in the gusty and choppy conditions. was hoping for a NM PB but it was not to be. Must have missed you JJ.

Fun session at Liptons, wind started to crank in later in the day, good to catch up with Stroppo on the water this time. Was great to sail with a few of the MM as well everyone was pushing for the 40 alas looks like I'll have to hit Liptons once again.

Pelican Point, WA, AU 96 Supercross 5.5 Gator 27 SS. Very quick session after work as I had to go out for dinner. Gusts were pretty crazy at times and the water state was interesting to say the least. Went for a chop hop and back foot popped out on landing managed to hold onto a spin out with only the front foot on the board until hit by larger gust and catapult. Darryl was witness to it, at least it gave him a laugh.

Early (until 4pm) crack at Liptons, but spat the dummy when I saw it was blowing 25-30 on the coast and only 18-23 there. Raced up to Safety Bay to meet a friend.

Wind was pretty strong for a while and was nicely lit on the 5.7. As the day got on, the start of the run had a little bit of chop to dodge, but nothing too sinister. The same couldn't be said for anywhere outside of the pond. I sailed out a few times into the bay and it was hairy out there - breaking swells left, right and center. Really had to pick the gybe spot perfectly, or else be fodder in the soup bowl. In the end I was just dumping the rig after the run and flipping the rig in the water. My friend had a big off on his 4.2 out the back and now has a sprained wrist! Properly windy.

I can pretty much can measure the enjoyment of the day by the sail size - any day I get to be out on the 5.7 must be a good one  And, this is my best beaver session to date, so whilst the magic 40 eludes me still, I gotta be happy. Glad I made the call, even if Liptons did pick up in the end.

Super fun. Well, all except seeing that fin near the start of the run...hmmm

Pelican Point - 100/6 then 115/6m - tried to focus on gybing, but the conditions at Pelican Point were quite unfriendly. Gusty, choppy, shallow...
Tried a 90s slalom board - scary as - even the sligtest chop would throw it off balance. Went straight into a small wave and over the handlebars, so left that for some future visit to Peel Inlet.

Still decided to post the results - may improve the team averages

Not sure why no alpha's are recorded.  Shoould have been.  Will work on it today again on Patrick's big Patrik board.

A nice hour Ken. Congratulations
