Sailing Club, Wallis Lake, NSW, AU

 SW 5-20kts, 7.0GTX, 101 falcon, 32cm BP weedfin.

Sailed with Aaron from the sailing club and met up with Bill & Anton on the weedbank and I think Rob tried to launch from Green Point but didn't make it all the way out during a long lull.

Nice smooth water and a good depth of water on the weedbank, great angle to sail just the wind didn't come to the party. 

Canton Beach, NSW, AU - SSW 15-25 knots and bloody freezing!! NP 7.5 V8 + JP 112L + JP 31cm weedie. Think I have been spoilt by Peely of late, either that or Canton has gotten much choppier since a lot of the weed was removed....maybe it's just me?

Sailed with Mick, Nigel, Frothy, Old Pete, Bill, LM Sue and a bit later The Cobra & LM Bruce. Only about 5 or 6 kites out today but the learners are the worry when they drop their kites in front of you.

Anyway back to work tomorrow, bugger.

Cheers.

Canton Beach, NSW, AU Wasn't much when i turned up. Pete and Nigel had come in very dissapointed and said it was all gone. Half hour later it started fill in  pretty nice so rigged big. Tried out new sail which took a little tinkering but felt pretty good in the end. 10/15 with a couple of hang the faark on gusts. The same old faces braving the freakin cold conditions and not complaining. 135 Patrik 8.5 Koncept 36 Jp weedy. Soldier on Froth you massive legend!!! Go Marauders!!!

Coomba Bay, NSW, AU

6.6 ka koncept, Yellow sub BP WS 28. Very gusty got a couple big ones.

Coomba Bay, NSW, AU 6m GP2 Tabou Rocket 105. Way under powered so missed my 6.6GPS. Wind went more westerly than forcast so getting back turned into an epic. Interesting experience with onset of hypothermia. Lost my ability to uphaul in light winds. Muscles just stopped responding and found myself floundering about 200m from shore in fluky winds. Decided to swim gear in but repidly bacame exhausted. Had to call out for HELP!. Fist time I have ever done that and a freind heard me and came out with a kayak and paddled me to shore. By the time I staggered in and I mean staggered I was shivering quite violently. I was wearing a spring under my steamer and full balaclava style hood. This experience has taught me a lot and have decided on a number of things if we are going to sail in these kind of winter conditions. 

1. I am going to get a better wet suit.

2. I will have my mobile on me in a water proof pouch.

3. Have some sort of rescue kayak available. If something happened out in the middle of the lake we need to be able to handle it effectively.

4. Always sail with some one and look out for each other.

Queens Lake, NSW, AU

Short session. Sailed with Steve. Arm started hurting again so called it quits.

Happy with my speed on the IS 107. First time over 30 Knots on this board.

Mud Bank super flat big tide. Could sail all over the Mud Bank.
