Second day of holidays... Fun little mid arvo winter solo sesh in "boardies" at the local mud pit! Predominately Southerly wind again today- 14~18kn I reckon with the occasional 20kn gust.
Water was quite choppy with some large swell which at times I just decided to tackle head on catching some air!
Lots of sea life present. Had a mackeral jump out of the water right next to me as I was blatting along... I swear the fish winked at me- brought a smile to the dial
King Bill dropped by after WORK as I was derigging for a quick gas bag. Think he was just checking up on things just in case his "Kingdom" may suddenly become under threat!
Tried a different rig combo today- BP Sabre 37.5 plugged into "Big Woody" Futura 124 with Severne OD R6 7.8
Fin performed great under load in steady wind, did not slip once & was also quite easy to point upwind. Was a little bit sticky when the wind was lighter- could have done with a little bit more lift in those times.
Hopefully more time on the water for the next couple of days before heading off the Mehico!
