Lake George, SA, AU

A bit stronger than yesterday, used  RS1, 5.9 sail, 24 MUF fin  all day & was nicely powered, on the edge at times but never overpowered. Had a bad fall in the rock garden, came down on my shoulder, where is the soft oozing mud when you need it.  Shoulder feels bad tonight but I guess it has a day or 2 to recover as bad forecast tomorrow & Thurs & Sat.

Getting the hang of managing the mud, Andrew could you drop that water pump thingy over tomorrow so I can clean my gear, I think you could sell a few of them here.

Byron, Rick, Hugh & Nicko arrived & went at it full tilt today. Might see some good speeds frpm them although they were still out when I left, might  have to wait for them to post. Sue leaves tomorrow, she was going well.

I would love to sail here when it flat as it is supposed to be normally, is good when rough buit flat would be something special

Lake George, SA, AU 6.6tr9 maui RS2 then the 44 CA BP28 weed speed

first day sail at LG alot of mud and then some very rough carnt get any speed with water that rough under done on 6.6.

couldnt belive I did those KM in that short of time.

I was 50 min into the hr and hit the rock garden took 5 min to get out and fin was damaged so could have been alot higher but I was realy going for speed not the hr anyway.

tried some alphas and they felt like shit not enough wind when you came out to put on the gas there was nothing and kept hiting mud it slows you down big time and sends you over the front as I found out.

hope it improves alot

20-25kt S - 5 mile Lake George, SA, AU

79ltre falcon - 5m OD - 25cms Lessacher fin then 50ltre isonic speed board.

 Last day. Hoping to up my 2 sec but not strong enough..funny a few weeks ago I would have been doing handsprings to get that speed in that wind... Actually that is a PB speed for that strength of wind.

Had fun! Bit all over the place sailing wise but flashes of brilliance..went down to Cockie's overpowered in the chop had the fin slide out and got it back in and handled well..confidence has improved heaps as I wouldn't have been game to do that at the start of the trip.Good to see Bruce, Byron, Nick and Hugh out chewing up the lake..

Found the rock garden 1st time..Actually surprising seeing how far out it extends-you can see where I hit by my track middle RHS..funny it's safe in closer to the opposuite shore higher up..

Daffy got some footage of me doing a run in the speed strip..Yay! I finally have some video of me speed sailing..I can retire tomorrow now..

 Great trip a few regrets...didn't take Daffy up on the offer of taking out his 87 isonic and 5.4m gear one day, didn't do another run on the windy day ( I'll do that next windy day ..grr wasn't one.. ) . Next time I'll just take every chance I get..

Hope I can get down again! I'll never complain about the mud at Budgy again!

Mmmm mud...yum...

 I took a short video of Byron and one of Hugh that I'll post later..
