Fangy's, fun sail with good crew out, just a bit up and down, frontal winds, not a seabreeze.

Tabou rocket wide 108L, NP RSR E7 7.0, Pepe weed 60º 25cm, JP weed 36cm

Franga's good crew out, started with the smaller fin attempting the hour 25mins in blowing harder than the breeze decided to write of the run and change up fin which was cavitating a fair amount.

Changed to the 36 and found the tide had dropped 3m in the time it took to swap over the fin, which wasn't realy to much of an issue as the fin was being rapidly abraded away anyway.

Twas definately quicker with the 36 and some nice fun runs, but eventualy the wind droped of more and the tide felt like it was dropping some more.

Had a lot of fun, a nice way to spend an arvy

Good conditions for the first sail in forever.Actually made most of my jibes.For me a successfull jibe is a downwind turn of about 180 degrees where I dont fall off.Good fun.

Met Toby at Wamba st and it looked deep enough, so waded out in boots and smugglers, found it knee deep about 20m out. Interestingly both Stretch and I decided on using 5.8s. He thought one of us must be wrong, but it seemed to work for both of us.

Must admit I don't understand how sail size works with different size sailors???????

I went with the 19cm 50d stainless palm, carbon weedy, plugged into the 48cm board. This combo fely nicely balanced and I was surprised how well the 19cm fin worked in the chop.

The crew arrived fairly quickly after that, great to have a nice turn out to keep Toby company.

'ken suggested trying a NM, followed him all the way to boundary Island, but decided I didn't want to go behind it in it's wind shadow, so abanded 'ken and went for it. Too choppy and wind too up and down for me to do much good, but the 28 is a bit better than the 26-27 I was expecting.

Longest sail for a while, trying to lift our hour and distance, was tempted to keep 'ken company and go for the 100kms, but my shoulder started to complain, so I thought it would be better not to stress it anymore and risk delaying full healing.

Had a really fun sail. The longest I've been on the water for a long time. Great to see so many people out and nice to meet Toby. Well done on all the PBs Toby.  I only went out later in the afternoon, but took a few photos in the morning. Will try to post a some on here after dinner and shower.

Nice and tired now.
