15- c 23kts S then dying to 10-19kts Valentine, NSW, AU

 5m gator - WT57 ( 90ltres) - 28 WT weedy

 then 5.7m gator

I haven't sailed Valentine for ages and it showed..Good fun. I'll have to make the effort more often. It's a 50mins drive rather than 40 min to Coal but if it's a true S well worth it.

I was really tired from yesterday so I rigged for the gusts to have an easy sail. It was pretty patchy but fun in the gusts..I was wishing I had more sail as there were a few flatter areas in the middle and I would have liked to see how fast I could go.... Still any day over 26kts on the lake is a good one..

 The chop at Valentine certainly has more potential for speed than off Coal..

 I seem to be able to get 26kts often - now I'd like to get 27 or 28kts..

 My gybing is crap with that board..I'm ok in underpowered ones where I finish clew first but pretty rs powering in..I was surprised that I got better with the bigger sail?.. maybe I was improving or?

I used freeride sails as I was tired and thought the gybing and waterstarting would be easier but maybe the cammed sails would have more power to exit the gybes? Anyway much more practise needed..

 I rigged the bigger Gator but I only got a few runs and it was dying. I couldn't be bothered rigging up so called it quits..

 Just me and Collin the foiling kiter. Andrew foiled past and Mick turned up as I was packing up..

2nd sail after crippling, agonising, life threatening, worse than chilbirth, sore shoulder. Very pleasant, 6.7, CASL93, 28 FIN. nOT TOO ROUGH. Can't remember if canmores are legal now so if any admin type wants to delete this file, go ahead, or zero them.
