3555 days ago Peel Inlet, WA, AU - Liptons!
Bit of a wait for the forecast breeze - rigged RSR E4 7.0 with RRD Xfire 98 V6 [new board] with 31 Tribal weed. On the water a bit after 4 off just before 6. Plenty out and good to put faces to the names [shake hands with a few other GTSTC tragics]. Most were expecting a bit more that what the dial read. Great fun in any case - Stroppo ans Slowbaot doing the shootout methinks!

3555 days ago peel... called PD about 2 and he mentioned the met eye forecast was showing a good kick around 5 down there so decided on a last minute dash. Didnt even think thered be wind to sail today but the trees were moving so figured the other forecasts were a bit off. Got there just in time as the wind came in, and rigged the KAR6.3m SP95 and Tribal 23 spw. First run hit a 40 yeehar. Then it was a while before my next one, but pretty consistent. A bit choppier than the last few times but it was OK. Great turnout. Having a ball. Got back to the car and discovered my FarKing keylock had reconfigured itself when I was closing it. And the combination I programmed in was no longer the combination... and it was locked. So with Alan's brute force technique, decrep's screwdrivers and a brick that strop found (strategically there for car entry I guess) the lock was disposed of within a minute. With a bit of practice, the FAR KING keylock would be a nice easy way to borrow a car in seconds without breaking in methinks. scary. So thanks guys for the help... saved me 2 extra hours of driving and shuttles to get the spares!
