Boggy Lake, SA, AU

Arrived around 11:30 and it was 20 - 25 Smallest sail is a 5.5 So put it on and flattened it out quite a bit. By the time I had finished rigging it had moderated a bit. Right choice in the end. Hadn't used the 5.5 for some time and it took some time to set the harness lines in the sweet spot. Once that was achived went over the other side to find some smoother water. Had to sail quite a bit away from the weed beds as there was a wind shadow and the wind kept on swinging so wasn't as smooth as hoping for.

Good start to the new year for me.

Came in for some food and drink ( should have eaten before I went out ) wind  then jumped up to 25 again so called it a day. 

Only three others there as all the other pensioners are down at Lake George.  ( Cant wait to get there and sail in some flat water )

Plenty of wind 20knots plus easy.

Thought I would try out my new black project weedfin,  went well less spin outs then my slalom fin :)  a lot of chop even up the top easy enough wind to go quicker just not enough balls.

Took along time to get to the top as soon as I got there the tendon on the mast base snapped, sailed it back to land headed back on foot for a replacement had fun jumping fences looking for snakes and running from goats to get back to the car,  I did see a decent sized snake skin.

Will give it another shot tomorrow,  tried changing a few settings on the sail at the end of these session feels a lot better.

Cracker day Loaded the FF22 in the CA SL101 Riged the 6.3 Loft RB & headded out to the wind line were Hoppy was cruzing. Started out nicely powered so we decied hour while conditions were sweet, tick hour done then some KM to catch up to Hoppys hour head start. After watching Vikings I was glad I had my trusty FF22 sword  fin with me as I slayed a couple of hundered pagens razor fish during the hour

In for a drink & hoppy decided that some more KM were to be had(all ready had a great session) so back out for some more punishiment or xmas pudding removal the last hour was realy bump & jump but wow what a start to 2019

Hope every one has a bunta year

SL2, GPS5.8, GPS6.6, 28 choco

Early start with the 5.8. Good fun across the bay for an hour or so.  Tricky got there and settled in for an hour. He was sailing well and was faster

Came in for the 6.6 sail and returned and Tricky was still faster. We did some distance work late on the sloppy chop. It was a real grind but worth it for the team. 

Feeling tired, will sleep good tonight.

Thanks for the beer buddy

Nice cruise around Lake George, bit disappointing actual wind was lighter than the forcast, used the 8.6 Turbo GT, 112 exfire, and 38 BPW and 7 mtr 112 exfire with 34BPW when it picked up slightly. Great to be back at the Lkae again with Nic back on the Board, Geoff, Stotti,Ev and co.
