Liptons early morning easterly, a fun sail with Alby and Guy  Fave gear Mistral Speed 95/ TR16 6.3m Pepefoil 23.5/48

JP Speed 54& Pepe weed 27cm, Tabou Manta 71cm, NP RSR E6 6.4m

Awesome dawn patrol with Hardz and GP down at Liptons, satrted out on the speed board tacking up wind to Pt Grey hoping for some flat (there was none) so blasted across to Ward Pt the sent it on a Naughty run back to tyhe carpark  which was on song for a high 20's until I hit some serious chop from behind and launched myself into a sizable dent in the water.

Ended up doing runs paralell to the shore with Hardz, changed to the larger board as the speed board was getting a bit trickier to get going.

Peak speed done on the speedy

Good fun and back home by 0930

Well that is disapointing. My worst hour for a long time, I blew a gybe and then had spin out for much of the width of the bay. That is no a major issue, I did not slow down. The problem was that I went downwind so far that after I recovered and tried to gybe I ran out of water. It took me three goes to run into deeper water and try to restart.

Anyway I can certainly do a better hour.... a work in progress.

Peter did brilliantly with a significant distance.

In truth it was a brilliant afternoon of sailing, the sun shone, the wind blew. I saw a Port Jackson shark swimming along the surface about 100m off the car park, abour 1m long. Could that be one of the things people hit and come to a stop?

The hr does mean I have a top 5 every year since 2009. A sad stat? 

Albany, WA, AU Harding rd with Peter , Rod , Steve and couple of unknowns . Great day on the water
