Lovely day in the smooth waters of Burrum, had a ball tyoday on better size gear and cruisey sailing. Not as fast as it felt but good to get a few Ks down anyway. 

Naish 110, KA7.5 venom 42

holloways beach with Benny,Kel,Gaz and Pete.....little while between sails but quite enjoyable.

Benny looked very good holding a 7.8 sail with the rest of us using 6.6 or 7.0.

Was a little lumpy but not unexpected....and once it started dropping off all of us we back

on the beach.

Billy...you were very much missed.

Holloways Beach, QLD, AU 6.6 Koncept, Isonic 120 43 Alloy fin.

Very enjoyable relaxed sail with my cracked rib and Shingles. Did bearaways unharnessed as I didn,t want to risk a catapult with the  rib still not 100%.

Got given  the Koncept for free yesterday, had to sticker up a crack in one panel but very happy with this sail.

Mackay, QLD, AU

Totally misjudged wind strength which dropped out while rigging and ended up underpowered on 6.5 and 112 FSW combo. Perserved for a while then changed up to 7.5, but ended up badly underfinned. Should have known better.

Holloways Beach, QLD, AU

Very short little sesh with a good turn out of crew- sailed with Freddo, Kel, Gaz & Peter.

Water looked like a churned chocolate milkshake...  Took a while rigging the Severne OD 7.8 to go with the outdated Exocet 135 & BP 47.5 fin.  Top cam popped off the baton when rigging initially, so there was a bit of buggering around to be had before getting out on the water.

Nice to be sailing with so many experienced crew.  Freddo looked to be having fun skipping along comfortably.  Listened to some helpful tips from Gaz when derigging.

Felt much better handling the chop with the front clodhoppers in the straps- had to really jam them in even with the straps fully opened up...  I am thinking to either get a foot size reduction or try some Drake ultralight footstraps- Does any know where I can purchase some of these?

Still some seriously good fun had all the way!...  we were missing B1 today.
