Was great to catch up with Carl for a sail. Got there early 9am to sail long into the day and hopefully clock up some decent kms. It started ok with 15-20 South but soon softened to 12-15. Kept waiting for a pick up in wind but it was one of those days where it just got lighter and lighter until 3knots was it. Tried a bigger board and 35 pointer but nup, could not plane. Still, i had the early breeze so happy with that. Me and Carl had a couple of frothies while waiting and then the light rain made the decision to de-rig. Good fun with Captain anyways, looking forward to a 25k SE day.

Cheers

Sems. 20min sailing with a trough over Adelaide. Lucky Dip forecast ?. I was lucky to sail 20min overpowered.. then nothing.

Well done all :)

El bog.

Arrived at 2pm, lads seemed powered on big gear so rigged MachOne 7.0 and the i97 with BPR375. By the time I rigged it was droppping and wouldn't kick again for an hour. Then it was borderline, ok on the plane just not always easy to get there.

I beat up to the top pocket, and sailed there for about half an hour when a front swung and intensified the wind and got stupid choppy. Getting back suddenly got dangerous. Struggling to hold the 7.0m. I got home out of the harness and straps, and heard later Daishy, Rob and Stash had similar experiences. Not fun sailing like that, but glad to get the sail I did.

Good turn out for a day that almost didnt happen!

Stanbury 13 to 18 knots.

We had plans of which none happened lol.  Early arrival with Hoppy to try and do some k's, hours and alphas on the low tide.  The tide was low and light wind.  Hoppy went out 1st to test and i followed to find a average breeze.  I rigged small for the forecast and failed.  

Hoppy did well.  We met up and decided to head back to shore and rig up.  I glugged back and had a long walk to shore and Hoppy managed to stay out and get the best of it.  I headed back out on bigger board and still marginal.

For a second time we decided to head in and change to bigger sails and we headed out to be skunked again lol.  Glug back and another walk.

I think i walked more than sailed.  Great to catch up with Hoppy and always good to be on the water. Cheers for the beer and lets hope for more wind next time...
