Christchurch Estuary, NZ.  NE.  JP xcite 120L. Severne NCX 6m.  Tlab 40 fin.  Chose the right sail size for the conditions and have adjuested my sailing position slightly so was feeling more in control, especailly after adjusting a harness line that was out.  Two gybes which is great for me.  Pain in shoulder only once with a failed gybe.  Came in before I overdid it (I think).  Seond fastest alpha Ive done, not bad considering the weed that was tangling up on the fin.  Fastest session this season so I am looking up.

Northerly 12-19kn, very smooth session. Gybe training, Akersten, Nelson, NZ

Coyple of runs on the estuary. Tried the NCX 6.0 on the slalom board. Nice feel but the weed just made me quit early.....sailing with the brakes on

Francois Peron National Park, WA, AU  Paatrik 92  S2 Venom 6.3 CL 29 speed weed then Patrik 87 TR3 5.1 CL speed weed 25

Overdone on the 6.3   then underdone on the 5.1 till close to the end when it booted in.

Speed run is a waste of time as incoming tide makes it chop city.  

Had a school of flying fish and a school of snapper flying all round me .

Tom and myself having fun racing across the bay and back. Good jybing practice.
