Slightly gusty and quite bumpy out on the inlet at full tide.

Pity I didn't have the strength to stay out as the tide was dropping :(

JP Super Sport Pro 118 + 42 Fin, KA Koncept 7.5

Great to see so many sails out again... pity about a kiter who decided to boost then sail straight toward me on a starboard speed run ARGH !

Nice session with Doug and another young fella. My goodness it was a full tide, it just kept coming in. Was able to run all the way to the mangroves on the other side. Sailed comfortably over every sand bar

Inverloch, VIC, AU, Carbon Art SL66, KA Koncept 7.5, Interesting sail. Seems to handle the top end gusts quite well. Very choppy to start with but the water smoothed out well later in the day allowing for some good bear away bread reach runs on starboard down the angling club speed strip before the tide got too low. Decided to carry the anomometer with me so was able to check the wind frequenctly. Average wind 15 Knots gusting 18 knots. Can feel the 43K's on the arms today.Cool

Just Pete and I

High Low tide

Decided that would go to 45 as 44 would be too crowded.  No banks.  Pressure waves. Diamond chop.  It threw everything at us but Pete and I ruledSmile

Decided to run the NM way out the back and found some good flat water there as well.  Interesting that there was no bank, maybe weed was holding the chop?  Saw 26's on the dial not sure what the GT31 is doing.

Good day - stuffed after dealing with the chop.

Not a bad day out on the water, the wind wasn't exactly consistent but managed to get a some good runs in. Bit bumpy early on, but was better up in the other channel when the sand bar came up later. Out with the JP 91l, KA Koncept 6.6m and a 44cm (I think) fin.

It was honking up at 45. Doug was thinking of a 6.6 at one stage, but some how the wind seemed to be funneled, especially the further south we went. There was no way I was putting up anything biggerLaughing

Yep Andrew - wind was definitely stronger and I agree with Pete there was some sort of funneling going on.  5.8 was great in the funnelled section but the 6.6 would have been nice in the non funnelled section
