Great day. Early start with Sam getting there at 7am. Wind was 15 - 20 and w / sw perfect direction for the top at boggy. Took the 102 as it didn't quite seem strong enough for tb58. 1st time on the 2011 5.8 ka koncept - "another brilliant sail". Sailed for an hour and it picked up so i went back for the tb58.
At the shore ready to get on and something painfully stung me right between my toes ouch:-( Sam thought is was a yabbie or shrimp - not sure. Sailed back up the top and unfortunately the wind had swung to the south and chopped the water up. It was blowing 18 - 25 knots. No flat water but great fun squirting into the chop. Was interesting headed back to shore in the chop:-)
Off the water at 2pm as the wind cracked to 25 - 30 and the water churned up like a washing machine. Home in time for a bucks show but all night found it hard to walk with my bite. Off to emergency at 2.30 Sunday morning to find i have infected foot and 3 lots of antibiotics to take and also had a tetanus shot. Only 1 hour in emergency so pretty happy!
All in all an action packed day but well worth it:-)
Exocet tb58 / 2011 5.8 ka koncept and 29cm s07 select.
Boggy lake - 18 - 25 knots.
