Boz (39135km):
2540 days ago Peel Inlet, WA, AU
All intentions to do distance today but the wind didn't play the game until much later in the day and only for a small 1 hour window.
Still the day turned out to be a small adventure, Strop and myself were the first there and rigged big hoping later we would change down, wind was fickle on and off and I should have taken that into account when I went for a crawl sail to Point Grey, lets say I didn't make it, about 300metre from the channel marker the wind turned off completly without warning and with me trying to balance the sail and board half sunk hoping for a puff of wind.
I'm sure Fangy was watching from the other side and thought I'm not letting a Pinna to sail accross the bay and got out his voodoo doll chanting fall in Boz which I obliged with and proceeded to sit on the board and start to paddle towards the horizon, all this off course to the amusment of Stroppo who by this time was shaking his head and saying what was he thinking.
Towed in by a couple of friendly fisherman so all turned out okay, off course the wind did come back later for a pleasant sail but at that moment it was looking like we were going to be skunked.
