Sun was shining, water temperature was brisk but not crippling and the nor-wester was warm gusts..not brilliant, but okay.  just me and some lady absoutely rocking some nineties kit! for me, not a bad, 'ease-back-into-it" day

 Silly me sailed in winter time...........

but it wasn't too bad tho not the 4 degrees like last weekend the sun was out and about 14 degrees so way good.

wind was crap Northerlybut not normal direction NE but swung at the end to NW good 15 to 20 with a few gusts before lunch then backed off to crap when dr james showed up so had a few slogs at the end in the NW with him.

sailed the F2 sxs with 24 choco underneath and KA Koncept 5.8 on top and then used the old stoke when the doc showed up.

water level is very good for so early in winter could sail between the spit and island no worries but wasnt quite right to run the spit properly but another month and it will be on like donkey kong.

don't need a weedy at the moment as there is weed but its a metre under.

best flattest water was down at chocoland and behind the islands on the big lake side (really should make a name for this area as I hang there a lot.. so now it guna be jimbobland.)

 had my winter weight jacket on today really hard as my settings are all for 80 kilos not 90, looks like on the protein and bike and skipping rope for me.

  Hoppy what happened did the old sputnick finally die....

Very Gusty NW 5-18 knots...least the sun was out Bic techno 293, NSM Speed Freak 8.5m. Black progect Type R 50
