Round 2 with the homemade wings and also did a trade to get the carbon version of the JP 135

I guess its going well so far The pro model JP feels that bit more nimble than the wood.

Heres todays embarrassing moment story.

So here i am enjoying the new sail, board and foil wings, well aware that there was a boat dropping crab nets in the most awesome of spots.

Hmm i was thinking it was a shame they werent spaced and placed a bit more obvoius with brighter floats, but hey its quite within their rights to drop the nets, i should be careful.

Later in the session i came within roughly 10mt of a well placed float, then there were arms, legs and gear coming to a sudden halt.

Problem with me is i sometimes go a bit psycho when threatened with death or injury so i not so politeley let them know that their ropes were too long.

Few minutes later i though these guys dont seem to care as there was no effort to shorten them so good old psycho went back and fed some more expletives, then i realised the skipper was a work collegue

Hmm well thats embarrassing. Just a few scratches, dented sail and dented ego........stupid crab pots

Had a nice walk when the wind dropped off to about 10 knots and I only had the small wing up.

Changed to the big wing and it booted to 18-20 - good fun

That was an unexpected and good session. Picked up for a bit was pretty nice but too many boats. It's getting dangerous ot there and you really need to watch out for the big boats. They set their course and hammer along at 30 knots..scary stuff and it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt ( or worse)

Doing high speeds (as in N miles)  in the river is dangerous with boats around so take care guys.
