Took off from Meville to Pt Walter, had a couple of runs still not quite enough wind to get speed on W49, headed back to Meville, just in time before wind dropped out.

W49, 6.1CR, 26F1.  GT31 doppler.

Woodies. Went there hoping for enough wind for the 5.8m. SP40 and CL23asy. Plenty of wind on the south side, but didnt seem to be pushing over the sand bar. Was rather undercooked with the 5.8m and spent plenty of time swimming waiting for enough wind to waterstart. I think its windier on the river than the north side of woodies. Pretty stoked to get some runs on the 5.8m finally.

Cruisy after work sesh at Woodies with Slowy & Craig. Breeze was lowish 20s and dropping but great fun on the Manta 49 & Konecpt 5.8. First run was my quickest and was getting slower and slower, so opted to have  three or four goes at Alphas and bagged a PB! Can't be unhappy with that!

Got to Peli looking much like yesterday thinking it was another 5.6m day. Instead temptation to try brand new 09 CRII was too great so rigged the 6.5. After a couple of tune up runs, got the settings right for the conditions and set off for Melville. Man it choppy and windy out in the middle ! Not much boat traffic which was pleasant. Got some big bullets coming through but peak speed was low 30 but was happy to be surviving what was a fun but heavy session mid river when big wedgie swells would appear from nowhere.

On last run back to Peli, suddenly the wind and swell gods combined to produce a long flat piece of water and a real good blast to reach the peak of today. Was very happy with that considering i chose to sail in a washing machine and not flat water !

09 CR felt very stable, little back hand pull, even in the big gusts, Noice

IC87 09 CR 6.5 and Vector 30 (which felt very very fast today)

rolled the dice and went to hardies...bad call seems i am destined to be out of sync with the wind for some time.

wind was 15 to 20 and holey spent more time swimming than sailing. ca40/kon 5.8

the only highlight was catching up with some of the crab crew....

Great going Stringer. As Billy Bragg would say '....great leap forwards'!

I'm sure it's good [you seem pretty confident] but Snides will QA your track and I'm sure Yoyo will want to have a look too mate! It's not a vote of 'questionable confidence' - just the 'unwritten' standards that seem to be applied by the team and the GTC community!

Cheers and well done.

There were about five or six on THE WINDSURFING SPEED COURSE but in all honesty they were pretty considerate and I had no run ins with them at all. Quite often they would just stop and wait for us to pass before resuming their "twisty-dangly" moves. Slowy had just the one near-death experience I think. With three of us there blasting along at close to 40 knots, they seemed  fairly to keen to stay out of our way. The thing I find with Woodies is that, unless it's over 25 knots, there's more fun to be had blasting down the troughs between the waves on the windward side.
