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.

Man, am I that obvious these days?  Boz, I am crushed that you had to float around for a bit. I am hoping Stroppo went past at least once pointing out the clouds in the sky, or whatever it is he points out up there every time he goes past me.Tongue out Laughing

Strop, I am really appreciative that you point out the sky for me so consistently. Keep it up 😜

Bloody hel Boz, you should have been down for the dawn patrol,

Contrary to what the garphs states there was a solid 20knots coming down the  estuary on SE direction, I know all about this as my ride back from Halls head I had this wee breeze smashing me the whole way, going over the Dawesville cut bridge was hitting some low range gearing looking down the eastuary with solid witecaps as far as the eye coud see.

Good to see some got out rather than replacing disc brakes on an ofsprings car

Six personal bests! What an awesome achievement by me!

I jammed my finger while trying to adjust the boom height while sailing. Its really sore today, even typing this, so if the wind ocomes in today I think I'm out. Next sail I might try a smaller weed fin and dig out the old Wrigth Designs epoxy speed board.
