Sweet sesh pinner's welldone Andrew , Jeff ,Anita and Craig on the pb's and nice speeds JJ 

Congrats to JJ for 40+, Anita, Andrew, Craig and Jeff for PBs. Great day.

Nice PB guys!!!

Anita great Nm. 

I have to say watching you gybe today. You need to bend those knees more so you can really drive you board through the turn. More speed going in, let the sail pull you forward.

Foot change and rig flip, if you do the foot change sooner you can hold more speed and have the momentum to flip the rig before speed drops off. Be more proactive if you can flip early you have more power in sail as your on a broad reach out. I think if you can work on these things you will be hitting 20kn in no time.

Im no expert but I saw a few of your gybes today and alot of othes doing them, these are just things I picked up as i know sometimes it is hard to know exacty what you are doing.

Great Nauty PB Anita! 

Congratulations on the PB's Harpole, Lunny and Tailwind! 

Good pb WindX!

Good work too Lunny and Hardpole....congrats to you all.

Great swagof PBs guys great team effort.

Congrats Pinnas, good times on a testing day!

Well done JJ, Lunny and Snake. Top speeds guys. When Peter come in he said that he told JJ that he had a 40 on the dial and that JJ was off like a mad man. Thanks Peter.

Thanks everybody, and for the advice, Raygun. I remember when you were struggling with gybes, and look at the flying ones you do now, and it gives me encouragement. What you say makes sense. Making myself move sooner is difficult. I am not good at doing anything quickly, and I get a bit paralysed when I'm going around a corner at speed. I know what needs to be done but I can't make myself do it. Fear of pranging at speed I guess. I think for so long I struggled to complete any gybe, that getting around dry was the number one objective, and that has made me overcautious. I now need to abandon the safe gybe and go for some risky ones. 

Good speed pb's Tailwind....way to go!!

Great effort on the PB's guys well done, great team turn out 

Special mention for our skipper, every time I see a PB against her session,

I still hear her saying when we asked her to team up with our mostly lot "oh I don’t think I would be good enough, and drag the team down"

With daily weather updates and encouragement, and her leadership and drive, has moved our motley lot well up the table.

Not to belittle the previous team Captain, who has to be one of our corner stones of the team,

The current Captain being a lady, has to be in my book, GPSTC team Captain of the year.

You forgot the s in "previous team Captains" there Mineral.

Fantastic session pesky Pinna's. Congrats to all the pb's. Anita  you certainly looked like you were on a mission - I couldnt get a wave out of you yesterday your concentration was so intense .

Mineral great to have a chat and thanks for 'pointing' at one of the Coastal Nannas for a change. Shaw get rid of that GPS, its obviously faulty! Jeff a pb always make the drive worthwhile, well done- you look faster every time I see you.  Jake,JJ and Craig - sooo fast-well done lads ( this bit was said through gritted teeth - you killed us out of top spot).

Congrats Craig, Andrew, Jeff and Anita on all the PBs. Well done all.

and JJ top speeds mate top 5 numbers for you. Good stuff

Big congrats Tailwind, Hardpole, Lunny and WindyX, what a ripper day, big grins everywhere 

Some great PBs there Jeff, Anita, Craig and Andrew  Smoking runs JJ, that mile in particular 

Jake, I hope you have put in an order with Santa for a tribal weedie for Christmas. I have.

I can't say enough about them. So much acceleration, and they are fine for Liptons/Coodanup weed. I was wishing I had used mine yesterday. I might have cracked that 34 I have been trying for. I was going to come in and change to it but I thought the wind was fizzling out.

Mineral, thanks very much. It's still a good thing the team doesn't rely on me to contribute to the score! I am lucky to get one jellybean per year. I wish I could lead by example like Decrepit and lao, but  that's not ever going to happen. Fortunately, JJ, (my unofficial vice captain) is a champion at setting numbers to chase.The most I can do is keep trying to improve, and I am pleased that I have replaced 80% of my top 5 scores this year. That one at the top of my 2 sec list is really bugging me!

As far as captaining, the Pinnaroos are a pretty easy team to manage. They know what needs to be done and they just go out and do it. I don't even need to be there. Half the time I don't even know who is going where.  A bit of advice as to where and when to get the best speeds is all I provide, and on occasion, a request to stop playing in the waves and join the team on a road trip. 

Thanks friends, for all the effort you have put in this year, and it does take dedication to the team effort. We don't get results by just cruising around on the balmy days. It requires a lot of travelling to be competitive, and often the sailing is more like hard work, but we have had a lot of fun along the way.

This is sounding too much like an end of year speech. Still 11 days to go. We can't afford to relax yet...

Anita... that's an awesome Nm. Congrats!

Thanks Nigel, but it's only .005 faster than my previous best, so not much improvement really...

Terrific nm Anita + good 2 sec. Sounds like a good session!
