Glory Holes, Australind, WA, AU.  FF89/SCR7/TWS29. Sailing with Rat. Wind was a little lighter and speeds a little lower than yesterday, but it was a more enjoyable sail in the westerly wind .... maybe not being at work had something to do with that too! Laughing

Joined Fangy and waricle for a very enjoyable Yunbas session,

The 1km ruler is a great flat area, golf ball size ball bearings. Obviousl that's where I spent most time playing.

Wind was up and down, so went with the new 55cm board with 20cm fangised 55deg deltoid, and koncept 6.2. This worked well, a nice balance. But the 55 has a wider tail than the old 53, and I found myself doing the odd tail slide if I pushed too hard in the gybes.

Probably should have used the 24cm@43deg Even if it was to see if a touch up ti the front edge had cured it of spinning out. There wasn't enough weed to be a problem for the 43 degree rake.

I rolled into the carpark at lunchtime, having cracked a sad about studying. The place was deserted. It seemed pretty much the same as Sunday, just a WNW front passing through and a few tumble weeds…

Then the pensioner wagon train arrived. While Waricle and Decrepit were getting out picnic blankets, tea and scones to the sound of Vera Lynn, I decamped at pace in a Southerly direction.

And I keep going south at solid 26-27 knots for another 6 k’s just to be sure I was adequately socially distanced from those two. Not because of any COVID concerns, more because I didn’t want my rep as a totally hip and happening sort of dude BBQ’d by the Stonehenge druids in the carpark.

Safely ensconced down the far end, I found a  little weed patch, but only once managed to run through with a gust in my bloomers. But no worries there, there was some very enjoyable runs down the bays to be had. In fact it was a relief to chuck in a u turn just to save the neck from seizing and to give the back leg a rest. I paid no attention to the time, turns out I probably should have; my hour was 50 mins sailing and 10 minutes gas bagging. 

The druids finally finished licking the jam and cream off their fingers and joined me for some cruising. Druid Waricle had his shiny FF24 out for a spin. The finish on had me embarrassed at the state of my own fin, it simply looked sensational, dare I say it, magical.

After a brief interlude on the water the druids went back in for more tea and scones and left me socially distanced down the southern end. I was pretty sure Huey thought it would be funny if I stayed down there amongst the banjo folk, so I scurried back as well and just made it.

I quietly starved to death in the carpark as I packed up my gear, but I would have to admit that was  A Top Ten Fangy Famine busting sorta day. Great fun session Laughing

I was one of the old farts sailing with Ross and as old farts do forgot my gps watch. And helmet.. Therefore I have to estimate my speed so a conservative estimation would be around 59-61 knots. I must call on my fellow sailors for verification.. On a more realistic note I enjoyed my first sail at this location, another great WA sailing spot. Naish sp110, fangy 24, koncept 6.2 Nice one hour and naughtie Ross, I couldn’t stay with you on those longer runs.

Fangy you are another one with the visual acuity, and the sensory motion perception skills to accurately estimate the velocity of moving objects, excellent estimationCool, If we could all learn from a master as yourself, we may soon be able to do away with GPS'sSurprised

So who had the longer runs, Stretch or Fangy? HMM Fangy I think, his NM was about a third of his runs, Stretch's was only a half

Cheers peeps :-) Spittin' chips I stopped at 50 mins, but at the time and hour hadn't crossed my mind. Besides I am well stoked that I almost went as fast the smokin' ol' fart Waricle, who clocked in at 59-61 knots. I reckon I would have to re-adjust my perception of 59-61 knots to judge Hardie. I just find really big things always look to be going slower than they actually are. Tongue out

Nice job from south of the border Stretch and Ratz
