Got my CR 6.7 back today :D so went to peli to give it a crack.Just sorting out mast track positions and foot straps so no speed runs today :( Interesting how well this sail goes with an 85l board, underpowered as it was. I like this new combo alot!! Had other obligations so left earlier than usual and to taunt me the wind picked up just as I got out of the water and derigged. Great to finally meet Patrick and Greg. Patrick was out for absolutely ages should be some good distance there!! Sonic 85, CR 6.7, Goldwing 32

Quick session at Pinaroo to see how my broken toe is healing and if I'll be ready for the LOC.

First run i thought "I don't need booties, I'll be right" went for the front strap and caught my broken toe on the strap YellCry

Went straight in and put the booties on, faffed around with footstraps, finally got another run in, now I know that there's no way I'm using the iSonic on the LOC, it's just too painful.  If i hadn't already paid for it I'd pull out now Frown

Toe really hurts now, not sure if I'll be able to go the distance on Saturday...

Great afternoon down at Peli Point. Arrived and greeted not only by Snake (great to finally meet !) but 18-20k as well Cool. Thought I would give the hour a crack. Wind dropped a bit so I hopped on the big board and went up to Lucky Bay, bit of a hairy ride back as the wind had picked back up. Hopped back onto the lil board thinking I might have a chance for a distance PB. Yay! Great conditions for Peli - some nice stretches of flat water.

Sailed across to PtW for some alpha practice. Tried to implement Daffy's technique. Also tried to step.

5.8 Koncept, JPFSW91 (Nice repair Steve S, thanks), 26FO

PB min speed for alpha of 14.92 Alpha trackpoint. Doppler 22.9. Is this how we are playing still? Or now I have a GT31 do i have to post doppler? Happy to change.

Well done, Patrick on the ton and a nice hour.

Bugger about the toe Nebbs. Can't pass off your entry to somebody else? How about strapping the toe to the next one?

Hey Lao,

I think that the gurus recommend using doppler for GT31 alphas -- it's more accurate apparently.

Nice PB's Patrick, that's a stirling effort Laughing

Well done Patrick, great distance in patchy conditions!

I got skunked...way underdone on the 6.6, shoulda rigged bigger Frown but I was waiting for it to kick in late...didn't happen.

Good to meet the Snake at Peli.
