Gusty NEaster. Over powered in the gusts on that combo but it got me through the lulls still planning. 

GPS5 comp day. The decision was either get the NEaster early or wait for the southerly change in the middle of the day. Didn't trust that the southerly would come in all that strong and thought it would be a big front ender then drop out just as quick. I choose wrong. The southerly hammered in for the whole afternoon. After a hectic week at work I was too bugged to go around chasing the wind. So this is my results. should be some interesting speeds from the southerly sailors.

First sail at Rosey :) Wind up and down but came in pretty well late. Nice session with Jas and Geoff until the 'Team' had to go into rescue mode to retrieve Geoff from the channel with a broken boom and an outgoing tide!! Great job Ben!

Good sail today until boom broke in middle of river on outgoing tide. 

Boom broke on mast end then broke of on other side when straightened 

out so could not even switch it to good side . Tied outhaul to end of boom

and flew sail ,  made ground for a while then tide got me . I was only 

out sailing at the time but the guys on shore swung in to action and effected an

awsome rescue.  I degrigged sail and was towed in by Ben using a couple of

tie downs, worked great.

Thanx to Ben, Johnny , Jason and Steve ! , fantastic team rescue .
