Lake George, SA, AU

The Spit.

Day trip with Leon. On the water about 10am, but we should have been there at dawn. 

iS87 / 5.6R7 / 23 TribalWS - only moderate downhaul and the first time I've loved this sail. First run 40.5, then this peak. It was windy and I should have been on my iS70, but typical LG it didnt look windy from the shore. Squall from hell hit, and I sat it out. WTF? All that way to wait for the squall to pass? That was the whole reason I went!! I kick myself that I didnt get on it. Then off course it dropped off, only to return again but not as windy.

iS87 / 6.2R7 / 23 TribalWS - moderate some nice gusts. A couple of low 40's and high 30's.. then it dropped and I got cold.

Didn't realise it was Dr Cam until he drove past on the way out. Had I known, I might have pulled my finger out...

Bit of an underwhelming day really... But still nice to go fast.

Oh... and there's fucking acres of super flat water there now. Super flat.

Was good to catch up Chris -albeit briefly .

Agree we should have been on the water earlier -was cursing myself for the sleep in ...

You guys looked to be in Cruise mode from my downwind position -I had a mix of crazy flat /shallow water with super rough patches on either side so runs were mostly fairly short ...

Nice NM !!

All in all great fun & hope to catch up again sometime soon ...!!Cool
