Very Nice Times Shelby -fastest in Australia for the month !!

Aww Dr.Cam, the way i was feeling this morning in 3 jumpers,a hoodie,a jacket and some thermals under my jeans - what I'd do to join you at Green Island mate!!

Brilliant speeds shelby

always knew you were really silly!! dark, cold and gusty = desperate.

im racing this coming weekend so will be down the PiT after then to back you up. hope another member of the crew braved the weather.

Not much gybeing today! Good NM spot though.

Great work Peter - awesome effort - which run was the 30?  first? second?  Great effort - good on you for gunning it with the 5.8m

Well done Guy,s.!!!! Great speeds Shelby and a well done Peter on the PB.

The family demanded my time today so 4 hours of driving was just not going to happen. I did manage to get in a Bump and Jump session at Ricketts though, wasn't even that cold.

nice one pete, ya beat me to it. i've been trying hard to down our way, got close today but not close enough

John, it was the first run with the 5.8. Shame you didn't  get a chance to do a few more to get a good speed. At least we now know it is a good spot in the right conditions. I didn't actually mind the broadness of the run. The angle was fine for me, but I guess with more south it would have been a bit smoother.

I'm expecting some smoking times from Ado and Mat who were both flying down the run.

Nice one guys,it was very hard to leave you there and continue on to work. Next time  i promise. That puts us on the top for the year.....for the moment

Congrats on PB Peter, 30 knot NM is a milestone as you work your way up the ranks.   Looks like a good spot going by your NM and Shelbys 2 & 10 sec numbers.

Will this be the place to break Hamma's NM Record????????

Just a late freesail on the bay at Ricketts for me.

Well done guyz, and particularly Pete for the NM!!

well done guys

Great Nautical mile Peter!

Well done Peter, you showed us how its done today!

Nice job on the NM Pete

Spotty, I think it has the potential to break Hamma's record, but only on the rarest of days. We need 30knots ESE or SE, VERY low tide and big bollocks because the start and end of the run is testing, to say the least! Had I completed any of three fastest runs without the gybe it looks like the NM would have been 33knots at least and that's on a slalom board, 6.4 and shrimpy sailor like me. Lets' see if Matt posts something up there. He was on a Missile...

Well guys I am glad you enjoyed THe Southerly Busters home territory.  Just do not spruke up the place too much as we will have everyone down there.  We do want to keep Area 45 off the radar and I guess we will allow The Pit crew to sail it every now and then as Kato found it but did not sail it all that often until the Southerly Busters took it on  BTW It really works better on low tide with an Easterly.  Great to see Pete's PB - well done and ado 37 2sec peak is smoking

Well done guys! sailing is the best recovery therapy Ado good to see you got back out sooner rather than later.

T'was sweet indeed Choco. Feeling great thanks!

Thanks for all the kind words. Much appreciated. That supportiveness is one of the reasons that this is such a great sport.

Ado, I dont have any data to speak of... the GPS decided to reset itself to disable logging, which pissed me off somewhat -> in one run I had a 37.22 peak and the slowest parts of the run felt above 33-34kn (aka just cruisin')... at 72+5kg and a 6.4m

Spotty, I am convinced this run will peak over 40kn -> and I think we can do this in a standard 30-35kn SP easterly (provided there isn't any Notherly in it) as the Prom recorded 25-30 E for the day.

I will however now need to spend some money on a decent port-tack speed fin... I was on the starboard-tack KA 21 assy.

Pete you are like a fine wine, you are just getting better and better with age. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Great work to all the Pit Crew except for Matt, that loss of data must suck mate

Well done boys!..

You all played a good "away" game at our home ground- Area 45

The only thing I'd add is that the banks are changing on almost a weekly basis at the moment...there's a crapload of sand moving around the inlet so what works one week can be totally different the next.  

It would normally be unheard of to get a SE 20-30 knt day this time of year but Sunday was just that.... lets hope for more!

Great to see you blokes out there smoking it....there's just a bout a run on every angle except Westerly so we're pretty happy with the spot

Really bad news Matt. Never mind, it was plenty of fun anyway and we now know what could be achieved when we get the NM length right and elecraptic devices cooperate! One particular 47+ run comes to mind for me!  Thanks for havin' us Mick!
