2351 days ago c 15-22kts SSE Lake George, SA, AU
6.2m M2OD - 87ltre iso - 21.5cm FF ( cutdown 24)
then iso 80ltre - 20cm FF
Started too early and tried for an hr. I knew it wouldn't be much good as I was off the plane a bit and when I did get planing was working hard to keep going. I cut the run short on the launch side as there was a dead patch in there. I could see the wind was stronger up higher but catch 22 as I was too underwpoered to get up there..
Surprised that the tracks say I was so far off the shore on the E side I kept going really close and at times the 20 touched..the wind came in after 45 mins but I was stuffed by then and sailing like a sack of spuds.. I need to get fitter..
Anyway gave up on getting a decent hour but figured anything would improve on my current 7kt hour.. Then I started to look at the view through the sail and enjoy things more.
Bit of a rest and lunch and back out on the 80ltre. I was hoping for some speed runs but too buggered..Did get some fun bearaways in the middel 
Bit disapointed that I was too tired to make use of the day.It was lovely , not too strong and the çhop'wasn't too bad..
I was hoping for a better alpha as I am trying to improve them but I'm still too wide..
Enjoyed socialising with everyone driving by..
Heaps out! too many to name..Frothie , Pete , Hamma ,launched where I was. Once again we were entertained by Frothies description of the conditions..
