2520 days ago Port Douglas, QLD, AU..97lt Isonic left Ed's back yard repair shop this afternoon with some fresh nonskid on deck and a pollished bum...got down the beach after work for an afternoon session with Andrew..Had a good breeze blowing and the forecast was for a big session..Wasn't sure what to rig, so ask the wind gods for some advice ,, the 'word of the day 'was big sail small fin and hang on..Dragged out burnt out 6.6m North rig and pulled the top cam out of it so it would twist off better when the going got tuff..Cranked it down hard and went in search for what i call a small fin..Ht the water fully lit up with 36cm fin ,which was hanging on well in a angry grey sea that just got rougher an rougher..Had a great blast with wind going from 20 to about 28kts in the gust out wide..Andrew did well in the choppy sea and the wild up an down wind he came in happy..Session was cut short as the wind gods shut up shop and went home before sundown..Had to limp back to shore and do the walk of shame..New there was gunna be something dodgy about this session...Am looking for a 6.6m sail that isn't as totally trashed as mine and has some cams if anyone has one forsale that would be cool..Cheers Ed..
