Me Fangy, Slugger had a reasonably good afternoon for the up and down conditions, sometimes it was easier to catch a rainbow than some wind. The afternoon was spent chasing alphas as not much else was going to be very good.  My watch said 23.98 so I thought I had missed the 24 but lucky for me ka72 has it a 24.299 so im stoked with that. Later on Jonski came down for a sunset frostbite session so we all promptly buggered off and left him. No offence John but it was too bloody cold to hang arround.

I should have gone blouse shopping with Fairiebob instead of turning myself into a rather large iceberg and making a reasonable dent in the estuary. However the bits prior to that, were all quite good fun, even though Mr Whippy continues to fail to provide anything other than a brightly coloured awning. Alas I have to go easy on him today because he found my sunnies and dropped them off on his way home ( thanks Slugger )


Our resident Kegmeister Kiwi seemed oblivious to any environmental or personal threat and basically charged around in the squally bits like he always does. Elmo turned up, had a fit of sanity and left. Jonski turned up, and didn't have the required fit and when I left he was still laying down some nice tracks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had enough fitness to try one nauti. I was pretty happy with that one effort nauti, especially on the Party Barge. Unfortunately my asthmatic old lungs decided that 10 degrees was not a good reason to wake up, so for the rest of the session it was just quick squirts back and forth to avoid Slasher and his ever present rainbow.

What an awsome winter session!.  Thanks to my lovely wife, I hadn't even checked the forecast, the week was booked to look after the boys during the school holidays with no plans for sailing.  Ru came home last night saying, forecast is for wind tomorrow, and she'd be happy to cover for me with the boys. The wind turned up as predicted, thanks honey, and Huey.  Big smile on the dial. Saw a 40 peak, but couldn't bank a 2s. Had a lot of fun trying.

Lunny and Boz were out, way over the other side when I arrived, Mike and Firie turned up.  Was good fun and surprised to see so few out.  Saw the captain connect with a big bullet on the front edge of a squall, looked amazing.   Think Bob thought better of the cold.

Relaxing now after a hot shower with a fire in the fireplace, bourbon in hand and the boys quietly watching cartoons. All good!

Fantastic Liptons Arvo. Cold and squally, but I really enjoyed the 2 good gusts I collected.

Boz, and lunny were enjoying a break, with 'ken, sheltering in the hootchie from a rain squall when I arrived. Boz and Lunny talking about how wild it was earlier. But when the rain cleared and I started to rig, it was about 15kts. Paul advised rigging small so we'd be tuned for the gusts.

So I rigged the 5.4 koncept, plugged the 24 @ 42 weedy into the 48, and proceeded to don my warmest wetsuit, and spray jacket. By this time wind had dripped even more, and I wondered if Paul's advice was all that good.

 

But not long after wind picked up. By the time I'd walked the rig to the beach it was really blowing, got to the take off mainly out of the harness lines. Then went for it, woohoo 39.6 max and a 38.1 10s. Sothought I'll get a really good 5x10, but by the time I'd got back to the take off wind had dropped and next couple of runs were only 34s. But about an hr later another squall came through, and I managed to get on to the front of it, this gave me a 35 10s. Wind dropped again, so decided to call it.

So another 2s estuary PB for me and it's also the fastest the 8year old 48cm board has been. I'm wondering now if it's beacuse I'm using a bigger fin, normally with the 48 and 5.4 I'd use a 19cm fin, but because I anticipated it being choppy I used the 24cm, it certainly gave me more confidence in the not so smooth conditions, and let me get the windward rail up a bit.

 

Was very nice having the pinnas for company, even though they'll probably out do us. Firie made an appearance but his spring suit wasn't up to the conditions, maybe he got some nice pics.

My turn to post tracks.

Liptons 5 july

 

The long violet track is my first run, the shorter run is the last rain squall, don't think I was in as good a position on the run. Or else I just didn't go downwind enough.

After Spending time wandering around the Pinjarra refinery in the rain the thought of freezin my tits of wasn't all that appealing, thankfully work got in the way and eased my consience.

Great stuff all round especially Franga who seems to be a bit rounder than the last time I saw him

Congrats on the Alpha PB Roger! Great achievement, as it sounds like the wind was very up & down Smile

 

Fantastic speeds there Mike & Paul, both Top 5's for the 2sec is pretty awesome Cool

 

Top 5 Alpha for you well Sugger, nice one! Jonski you got the full house of Top 5's which is quite an achievement in the one session Cool Cool

 

Nice NM on the big barge Mr Fangman  Laughing

 

It was so cold down here we got snow on the Stirlings, as a result my enthusiasm was kinda lacking. Yep you can add me to the blouse brigade Embarassed

Woohoo Swindy, nice U turn PB - it's amazing how much incentive having the Slasher in the water provides to nail a gybe. I even got the Barge around smartish when he was nearby!

Cap'n Calm - sorry about my fellow Fangyflobbers not making the most of the nauti conditions. They were soft. To be fair, you only have to have the pedal down for the first half mile on the Party Barge, the momentum does the rest. Smokin sets of speeds from you and 'Ken  over there today. Well done guys. 

OMG Firie, shave your freakin legs man!Foot in mouth

I was quite pleased with my naughty as it included my pb u turn my top 2sec and 10 sec. But yes I should have gone for a proper one.

Jonski, good numbers for someone with a bad back today. You must have been packing up in the dark.

Slugger nearly slashed his own sail today, he flew in to it mid jybe.

Great pb Swindy....congrats.

Awesome numbers Skipper and 'ken......wow.....grerat afternoon for you guys.

In the absence of anything other than a springsuit Firie, ignore Fangy's advice and keep those leg hairs long. Kinda cute too.

Great work Mobsters!

Sorry for the complete lack of a report yesterday I kept meaning to get to it. 6.7 code red and I sonic 110 for most of the session before the wind turned it on and I got on to the isonic 86. Fastest time was on the 110 as I didn't bother to change the fin on the 86 so caught all the weed with a slingshot 23 (another lesson learnt. Great day on and off the water with only a little time spent looking for rainbows from under sluggers awning. Yes I did pack up in the dark too 😊

Great PB Roger I was watching a few of your gybes and thought they were looking good. Mike that's some serious speed!! Did the wind shift or were you heading nearly strait downwind for the fastest run?
Decrepit

John I was a bit surprised by that direction myself, but remember, the tracks you're comparing it with are going hard upwind. Although if you compare it to my two alpha attempts it is very square. I guess the wind must have shifted, there's no way you can head straight down wind.

Here's the 10s. Fastest spot is in the middle of it, so it looks like I may have gone too broad, because after that little kink I start to slow down.

Start and finish of the run are both upwind.

My lovely wife, Ru, brought the boys down to have a quick look at what we do out in the cold. She also snapped a few photos on her phone. The first three were within a 2 second period and show me initiating a jibe.  The last one gives a better idea of the conditions and shows Lunny getting ready to head out, with me in the distance. Nice to have a bit more of a record of the day. Thanks again Ru.
