Missed yesterday and todays forecast for the river was a bit too light. Went to Safety Bay again for the stronger breeze. A great days sailing - mainly in the pond and just outside. 7.5 Koncept felt nicely powered but I couldn't crack 30kts. Only worry was the fisherman throwing his bucket of fish heads/tails/guts out over my favoured gybe spot - made me try a little harder to make each gybe so I didn't end up on the menu too.

Nice sunday arvo sail.......and very unexpected. At 3pm at my place in melville no wind at all.

Took the punt and went to SB to find decent 20knots+ seabreeze. Had a ball.

Hey Diablo great cornering congrats on the pb amazing what a bit of motivation will do, I wouldn't have wanted to fall in either.

Slappa- good to see you back and glad you had a good day, green arrows everywhere but the river.

After missing out yesterday hoping for some decent wind this week, we will have to see.

Thanks ray gun, I figured a couple of alphas were gonna be close and was lucky enough to get one just the right side of the previous PB. Now, if only I can push it a bit further to beat BaldySmile

Your awfully close to bettering your nemesis.Wink

What was your min speed on that corner? ie what do I have to do to crack 20, apart from sail in a decent breeze. fell like my entry and exits are good but miss proximity with all my best. probably something to do with the average breezes been sailing in lately.

I've suffered too long with Baldy having better PB's so I'm on a mission. Just wanna get in front so he can then return the favour and keep the personal contest going.

Can't tell you the min speed because I don't have access to Realspeed at the moment (using KA72 to load data onto GPSTC). I reckon I remember which gybe was the pb and a high min speed was the key (sheeted in, loaded the rail and board turned like it was on tracks). Just need to repeat it each gybe from now on .Laughing

Hey Diablo

Well done! Yeah, i'm sure you'll pass me in a few at this rate. My sailing time is just too restricted to get any consistency.

I did notice the absence of any suggestion/call of going for a sail so seems like the secret sessions are in full swing and your mission is carved in stone. ;)

Winter is approaching and i know you'll be protected by your knee blanket in front of the heater soon. Then i will strike. lol

At last ray gun has a dud session. Tongue out

Yeah Baldy - guilty as charged but did you really expect I would play fair. Actually I was gonna ring/message you on Saturday but when I saw the forecast I didn't figure Sunday was going to be good enough to warrant use of accumulated brownie points. Shoud have made contact on Sunday though when I decided on Safety Bay - sorry mate

And now that you've pointed it out I can't believe I finally beat Ray Gun on distance. I'm sure this will be rectified the next windy day at Peli Point.

Thanks Anita

Just bear in mind the motto "The older I get the better I it was". The summer of '85 and '86 may not have been as good as this year at all.Smile

Have to agree on the forecast. Desperation has me considering a dawn raid tomorrow.
