Hey Alan woo hoo on the PB's man!! You were looking way better than I thought you would on my modified  Delta. And I was pretty sure you going to have a PB nauti, you were hammering along. Congrats

Yes great fun out there this arvo, most of the time PBs are an indication of how good the session is and 4 between you isn't bad going!

But a warning, smooth water is addictive! I just can't get enough of it now, that shhhhhhhhhh sound is something special., Drrrrrrrrrrrr isn't bad over finger size liquid ball bearings, and maybe a tad faster, but shhhhh wins hands down for me.

Welldone pinners on the pbs and using deltas nice and happy you had a good sail in coodanup

Huge congrats Anita and Alan - sweet PBs

Anita - huge result, practice pays off

Nice work you lucky bunch

And some PB's to top off your great day too.

You would have loved it, Lunny, and we could have used your distance skills too!

Alan, congratulations on three PB's. It certainly was a top session. You looked like you were firing. Surprised you didn't go further, since you started well before we did.

Welcome back Bono. You should have joined us at Coodanup. Were you at Liptons or Novara?

hi anita iwas at liptons gr8 in se wind

Not a bad outing for such a day. Didnt go as it looked ugly on live forecas. Bugger, as it sounds like it was a top afternoon.

Well done on the PB's guys. Anita, its paying off, all those prectice sessions

Mineral, The weather wasn't too bad. Warm at first, overcast but only a couple of showers which were so light you hardly noticed them. The consistent rain only really started as we were packing up. Then it was only light.

Yes the practice is paying off, but those old bad habits are hard to shrug off when it gets windy and choppy. More practice in more wind required. The more wind has been hard to get lately!

Yesterday you were either gybing in the weed (slows you down too much), in the shallows (flat but bottom out when halfway through the gybe), or out where it was windy and choppy.

Hi Anita,

I was quite surprised that I only did 58 Km too.

I am wondering if any of the sailing I did after I came in for a break was actually recorded. It starange that all the numbers on the display from the first session went to zero arround the same time.

Overall I sailed for just over 3 hours with hardly any stops, and even if you worked on an average speed of 15kts (the same as my 1 hour) that should have given a distance of arround 80Km

With the other issues I've had, I think I might bite the bullet and get a new GPS.

If I sail with both it will be interesting to compare the results

Congrats on the PBs guys! Sounds like fun times.

Well done Anita and Alan, great to see you both got PBs.

Great Stuff Anita, and well done Allan.

Congrats Anita and Alan for the PB's

Anita & Alan, Congrats on the PBs. 

JJ, 30.54kn NM and he says he couldn't get an nm in

Anita congatulations on the alpha Pb Sweet.

Alan yes I think that GPS is still dodgy. If you are going to get a replacement do it quickly. They are becoming hard to get.

Maybe the first session was all lost? Just think how good those PB's might have been if all the data had all been recorded. You definitely looked like you were on a distance mission.

Alan, download the data logger file to the card. If its there, this will have it. If you do, let me know and email to me. I can drag out the data for you.

Mike

Hi Mineral,

When I downloaded the data to the card, there were 2 files for Saturday, the first one was from when I first turned on the GPS this is the one I up loaded on here. The other file had a later time (I think it was around 3pm from memory) and was empty.

Alan

Alan,

Did you actually download the data to the card from the datalogger?, because you don't usually need to do that, the data is usually already on the card. BTW I often get two SBN files from each session, one is always 0, and the other one has the data. The file with 0 Kb is usually the earlier one.

Hi Anita,

I manually saved the data loger to the card and then used a card reader in my PC, if that's what you mean?

I always save the data logger to the memory card, my GPS doesn't  do it automatically when I turn the GPS off for some reason.

Yes that is what I mean, because we don't normally need to do that.

Drat. I think the second half of your session was not recorded. Either pause was pressed accidentally or the unit is faulty. If it doesn't automatically save I would say it IS faulty.

This is why a lot of people sail with two GPS units. It is disappointing to put in a huge effort only to not have it record for some reason.

Congrats on the alpha! Deltas are amazing if you can set them up so the weed doesn't catch at the front. Cripes i can see you disappearing into the distance now your in flat water..

New GT31 purchased today, no more excuses I guess

Alan, No more disappointments I hope!

It will be interesting to see how they compare. Where did you get it from?

I got it from Windforce
