Lake George. SA.

Nice wind today, lighter early aoround 20kts and mid 20's later. PJ was doing a distance attempt, so I got sucked in myself. I was a bit slow to get going in the morning and didnt start sailing until midday. Started on 5.8m, but had 5.4m rigged. Came in and changed after about 2 hours after the sky cleared and the wind picked up a bit.

Did a tour up to the top of the middle lake a couple of times. There was some nice, almost flat water up the top and on the sides in some places, but hard to find anywhere flat enough for faster speed runs. My best NM was running acorss the lake in the swell lines. Likewise the 1HR. Tried for some Alphas but missed the circle in all the better ones. 

There was a long run from near the 5 mile, past the islands and through into the big lake, right to the NE shore and back. The water was quite flat in the big lake below the shore, but the wind was 5 knots less as well, so I only did that a couple of times.

I tried a couple of speed runs below the spit, but didn't get much wind earlier. My best speed was avtually above the spit on the windward side where the water was surprisingly flat.

I was aiming for 300KM+, but the wind turned off around 6.30 and I was left short by 50kays. Didnt quite get to a PB. 

I was felling wery sore and sorry for myself last night with aching muscles everywhere. A lot better today after a good nights sleep. Might have a short sail this arvo.

JP70 54cm Slalom, Tribal 21cm weedspeed, KA koncept 5.8m and 5.4m, GT31 GPS. (the GW60 watch lasted until i was walking in when the wind died, but I had given it a short booster charge during a 10 minute break GW60, so it had almost the whole session)
