5kts SSw Canton Beach, NSW, AU

 115xcross - 7.8m OD - 38 makani weedie

Grr it was supposed to be 12-18kts and Sydney was getting it..I wasn't going to drive for 2 hrs and not go out so went out for a float. Actually quite pleasant as there was some sun!

 Gareth was out earlier testing his new lightwind gear and Sam and Jeff on his racebopard then later Wayne. You know it's not much good when a raceboard with a 9m sail isn't going! Undecided

 Found a lovely mown area of shore to the SE..Smile

 The weed muncher is at it again except they just seem to be randomly gobbling weed in patches and letting it wash up on the shore. Grr we were just starting to get enough weed growing to get it a bit flatter..Yell

Carried the sail out on my back. I deliberately didn't put it on my helmet as I didn't want to point load it.. CRACK!!! ( hope that's a cam popping???)

Bugger - there's a big crack in the window..Undecided

 Looks like tomorrow I will have to fix the broken top batten in the 7m and mend the hole in the 7.8m panel..Frown

 Of course I get home and it's come in at 18-20kts down there..Cry Oh well..Laughing

You're keen Sue. Keep the detailed reports coming. Always good to read what's going on around the lakes on the Central Coast. I grew up on the waters edge near Toukley BridgeSmile

Any wind up there Phil? It was looking good for the first front of the season next week but now there's a belt of highs and it looks like no wind for a couple of weeks! Argh! YellCry
