el'Bog sw 15-20kt.

Nearing bog I got a sinking feeling I'd forgotten my wettie...pulled over and it wasn't there. Crushed, I almost turned around right there but I was so close. I pushed on and found it hiding in my car on arrival. I was going to get a sail after all.

Rigged my i97-6.2M1-BPR325 combo. el'Bog had got really lumpy (sw frontal not seabreeze?) Clear water was scarce but the wind was mostly consistent. 

Dropped a gybe on the other side managed to fill the luff panel. With big rollers coming thru and too deep to touch, I could not for the life of me fly the sail. Exhausted, I swam everything to the reed bank where I finally got my feet down and got it going again. It took me more then twenty minutes and the lads couldn't see me from that far away, so Stotty came out to check I was ok. And I was, but I appreciate the effort. Legend. 

Reckon I'd been ok with a bouyancy vest, so imma look into that out. Anyhoo, not my finest day but pumped to get some time-on-water.

20 knots solid

8.6 and SLW with stash on 135L Jp and 8.6.

Abit too much of everyhting but thtas the way I like it.

having fun then hit something fish hopefully that snap my fin back to 45 degrees , didnt damage box thank god.

Stash the same thing hit something but his fin is one piece and ripped his fin back wards breaking the back of the box bummer.

so  we got out our Jp 69cm boards with 8.6 and was having a hoot when my 43 seelct fin just sheerd off right up the top of reeds.  with 40mins of real light left. I started drifting Stash went and got another fin. got back just before dark.

another one else had problems with fish!!  I personally cant see fish breaking fins, Ive hit them before in currency creek and they just die and float to surface.  below is phot of where we hit .
