Two sessions today...

A little dawdle at Peli around noon on the dregs of the easterly.  I left it too late and only got planing a few times on the M137 + 9.0 Titan + 48 Volt combo.

That didn't really satisfy, so when the sea breeze came in I made my way to Leighton for another crack.  It looked fresh when I arrived, so I rigged the 7.6 TR9 + M137 + 42 CF.  I had a few OK runs on this set up, then it backed off and I couldn't get planing.  Upsized to the morning combo again, 9.0 Titan + 48 Volt.  The last hour on this setup was mint, nicely powered up and heaps of fun launching off the windswell.  Did a lap around the STS Leeuwin, which was moored a couple of kays offshore.  The breeze dropped again and started to swing south just before 7, so I called it.

Stoked to get a nice ocean sail on the M137 / 9.0 Titan combo, which is a sweet setup for ocean blasting in 15-20K (I should've used this for the LOC, and I might have made it to the finish.  The Titan is Maui Sails de-tuned race sail, and it's a joy to use, very light and forgiving in the gusts).

That second session looks like a lot of fun, Greg.
