A great "East meets West" day at Pt Henry with the Geelong crew and a whole heap of Easties  - about 16 all up. Great to catch up again with the Westies and also to meet so many new faces, including the Inverloch sailing club crew. Wind was probably 15-25knots and it was sunny almost all day. Surprisingly flat water for an open bay, due I gather to large weed banks. Good to explore different parts of the bay including the run inside the sand bank and low island although the wind was dropping a bit by the time we checked that out.

I started on my JP super-x with 27cm JP slalom fin but was dragging weed too much so I swapped to my Lorch DivS 63L speed board with KA 23cm assy fin which being shorter and more raked back didn't have such a problem with weed. Tushingham X-15 5.2m sail.

Many thanks to those who organised this event and who must have also had some good contacts with the weather gods.

I think you are right Peter, the wind dropped off a little and I underestimated the speed of the making tide. Had we gone down behind the island say 40 minutes earlier I recon it would have been sweet. Great you could make it down our way again. Cheers Geoff.

Hi Jacques, not sure if I need another one just now but thanks for the offer. Having said that I'll probably put my head through mine on the next outing!
