Another lonely sail at boombas, but what a good decision to go. After a 4.30 start and a prety hard days work on the end of a 9" grinder I managed to get away at 2. Looking at seabreeze everywhere was still blowing northerly so I didnt take much convinsing to hit the freeway and head south.
I was greeted by lots of whitecaps and a 20+ knot breeze. For a moment I considered riging the 6.3 but no out came the go to 7m. Quickly I threw everything together and put the thick rubber on, wow that was a mistake, it was like sailing in a sauna. The water was a little choppy so I took a run into the next bay which was flatter but again a bit less wind as last time there, also with the wind predicted to swing to the west a bit I didnt want to get stuck round there. After 12 km I was buggered so I realy had to push myself to continue but had lots of short stops. All in all a great afternoon, cant wait to go there again.
May head to melville tomorrow if I can sneak off early again.
