5-14kts SSW - SW Packem Pt Lake George, SA, AU

Finally after almost 2 weeks here a day where I was glad to be a lightweight..Wink Even then it was hardwork.

 Rigged 7mOD - RS4 ( 111ltre) - 24FF

 Only a short run in the am but only 5-10kts where I was and dead offshore so I came in and hung around hoping it would kick in. Eventually rigged the 7.5m and went back out RS4 -224FF.

 Quite patchy but fun when you scored a gust. Really flat ( like last year) and sunny.Cool

Unfortunately it was flat because there wasn't any wind..Undecided

Put the go pro on this am for the most boring recording of all time..Tried one on the boom at the mast looking back for a run down to the spit but not sure if it taped..

That board , sail combo is great for those conditions..I've been feeling the cold lately - 2 wetties again today..

Last days sailing. At least I got a few laid back runs where I could look at the scenery and wake..Smile

Dezza and Nudie this am then assorted other bods..( Mandurah mob etc) Kato.

It's been a great trip. Challenging , I've lost heaps of weight, got fitter and more confident met lots of people and enjoyed the lovely cool climate and rain down  drought stricken..not looking forward to the heat and drought back home .Frown

If the lakes up next time I'll bring my RS2 as it eats chop for breakfast..Tongue out

What's the modern version Tricky?

It did '"tape"and god I look old! I hope I don't really look that bad..Laughing 

I had a laugh watching it back. I was doing running commentary.."lovely and flat probably because there's no frikkin wind! "'. Another bit I look to be flying along and I say '"18kts."".Laughing

 It was really on and off..in the straps one second out of the lines the next and if you coudln't unhook quickly in you went..one bit I'm slogging and I say ""gust coming , HANG ON FOR GRIM DEATH!!"and I really do take off..

Have to edit it when I get home..

 Sorry to miss you Mark & Maree..Have a great trip and hopefully the lake will be working next year and we can catch up.Smile
