Holloways Beach, QLD, AU

Met Freddo at the mud pit around 1330- we were both hoping to sneak in a session...  Wind looked pretty reasonable on arrival but started weakening when rigging up...  I ventured out first trying to find the wind line.  Had to go past the yellow sand dredging beacons before I eventually got on the plane- Freddo did the wiser thing and waited on the beach with his binoculars...

Did one long planing run way out wide- caught up to a yacht with a few happy crew on board, gave them a wave, then decided to do a u turn & head back as the wind felt like it was dropping some more...  Bugger me, couldn't even get back on the plane after turning- had to dredge quite a distance all the way back to base!  Bloody hard work...      

Both myself and the sail didn't even get wet...  Freddo was kind enough to stick around for a nice gas bag whilst derigging! Smile

Still nice to get out on the water I guess...

Used "Big Woody" Futura 124, Severne OD R4 8.6, Venom 48

Wind died about 10 seconds after launching! Arrrrrrrgh. Still a few puffs so nice to get out.

Benny that sounds a bit like my session during the week limped home on the last run. Looks like wind has dropped out again 😩
