Area 45, Mahers Landing, VIC, AU

Great fun today the smell of spring is in the air.  Bright sunshine easterly breeze - neither of those are what you would attribute with a Melbourne winter.  Big crew on the water too.  Kato, Drift, Pete, Old Salty, Kurt, James, Richie, Evan, Ash, Moondo returned from a 6 mth hiatus and yours truly.

Low tide was early so best runs came then, couldnt find a good board/fin combination, will have to keep experimenting.

Wind 13-15kts E

Gear: Isonic 101, 7.4 KA koyote, fins MFC RC400 & SL360

Area 45 did not disappoint with a good turn up Kato, Mick, Dan, Evan, Richie, Ash, Pete, James and Kurt and great to see Simmo out on the water!!!!!

The only thing I needed to do was to remember where the mud flats and sand bars where.  First run - Mud flats Last run Sand bar 3 " water at 20 kts.  A bit sore and a tear in my favourite sail.

LOCATION:  AREA 45

WIND:  EAST- 10-15KT

TIDE:  LOW TO INCOMING

GEAR:  CA FR77, KA KOYOTE 7.4

DETAILS:  Beautiful sunny day with a fair size crew out.  Had family stuff to do in the morning and by the time I got there I reckon I missed the best part of the day.  Wind was patchy and there was not a lot of flat water.  Hit some bizarre cross-chop on one of the return runs and did a 360' catapult.

Wind started to back off so i came in and did a fw runs accross the lumy stuff.

Good to see Moondo back out amongst it.

On the way out I noticed Pete's car was dirty so I cleaned it for him by flying through the puddle on the side of the road.
