JAK (12211km):
4675 days ago Sandy Point, Vic, AU, weekend trip with the wife and family staying overnight at Shallow Inlet caravan park (Yanikee). Didn't expect any wind at all, forecast was rather dull, hence I took only the barge and the Rocket and big sails. Drove in the inlet close to low tide and there was a stiff easterly happening with white caps and all. Beauty, kept the girls busy for the next 2 hours drinking champagne watching bro in law (on a kite) and myself joining Daffy and others on the easterly run. Perfectly powered with the 6.6 Koncept, wished I had the Futura there though, that would have been closer to 35kts I reckon. Had some reasonable gybes too, including a first planing Alpha with over 20 kts, very happy with that!!.
