Marmong Point, NSW, AU very gusty, but flat water finally, was fun nicely powered (in gusts) on a 6.2 and 100l.

 

Half the runs didn't even register on the GPS as it was that up and down.

Well myself and Nick traveled from bonnels bay to speers point sailing club and ended up at a new spot at the chanel to the lake at Swansea, NSW, AU.

The wind was blowing at Bonels bay but no where else except where we went out at the chanel.

It looked flat  but was not we had a run in tide at low tide so any chance of a flat speed course or top speed runs. it felt quick but against a 4 to 5 knot current the speeds were no where near what they actuasly were.

Still fun sailing with nick and steve coming down late. Steve broke his boom which i sailed my spare out to him he then sailed instead of coming home with me bad mistake as wind droped and he had to swim home and its not summer hey mate.

Fanatic Falcon 89, Mauis Sails TR8 5.9m, C3 Sting 32 fin.

Sailed swansea channel with byron and nic.  Very choppy conditions with solid 25+ knots.  Strong current to sail against to hard to get really good speeds.  Thanks to byyon for sailing a spare boom out to me after hitting a sand bar at 34 knots and destroying my boom.

iSonic 97, Mauisails Titan 6.5, Deb 38cm - Wind WSW 5-15 kts

Firstly, thanks to my lovely wife for letting me sail on Mothers Day - many other wives/mothers would have said no I'm sure!

Not the epic wind I had hoped for.  Once again got an easy 27 knots on the isonic without really being powered up - can't wait to really wind it up.  Had a few good runs, but then wind dropped and I had to do the walk of shame from down past Pippi's back to the sailing club.

Should have used bigger board but, when you have newish gear, you always want to use it and it skews your estimates of wind strengths!

Well done to everyone else on their PBs!

Hi Greg,

we did not catch up. You must feel bittersweet about getting a speed PB that is so close to cracking 30 knots.

Yeah flatter then lake Macquarie , I missed the Strongest breeze but still had a pretty good sail , weed fin is a must , knee to waist deep , With my weight I had a bit of trouble getting Onto the plane , because my fin was dragging in the Jungle underneath me , once planing was all good !!!!! Was around 15 to 20 knots wsw
