George (32558km):
2817 days ago Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU || 20-30 SSW and stronger gusts
RS3/ Koncept 6.6/ MXR 26 50deg. & JP69/ Koncept 5.8/ MXR w.sp22
Started very light I was underpowered for about 1.5 hrs, then it blew pretty strong, but I got stuck at 37 knts, it was very windy in the choppy area going upwind and not very consistent in the bear away zone. I learned to start with both feet in the straps, it was the only way in the gusts. I also tried the 53 litre speed board but it was like trying to start a sea anchor, it took all my energies for a very scary ride. I am very happy I can post this, because Andrew missed me by about 2 feet, I never saw him coming, just heard 'whoosh - fuck !' and saw a white flash behind my sail. It's nobody's fault, but I have no doubt that if he got me well I would be dead or crippled for life, so a reminder to all speedsailors to be extra careful, these things can happen for real to anybody.

Not as good as the afternoon prior, but still nice to get in a second sail.
