Well done team, on a great turn out and some good numbers for the moderate winds on offer. Just shows what a difference a bit of flat water makes!

Improved our numbers for 2 sec, 5X, alpha and distance, a big improvement on where we started the day. WE moved up 4 places for 2 sec, 3 for 5X, 2 for alpha and 3 for distance. We moved down one place for the hour, so over all, a jump of 11 points. Great work!

Big congratulations to Flex for his big distance effort today, and thanks to Boz for a good effort to back that up (especially considering your lack of sailing fitness) and to Woody, top speed of the day- so close to a 38! Well done mate!

Not much splitting the 3 amigos on the alphas.., and only a whisker between Boz and Woody on the 5X.

Nice work guys, you nailed what was on offer today 

Sorry for bringing the average down guys. I should have held off posting until this evening!  I'll make it up - promise. 

CF, that's not how it works, you got out, you did your best, the conditions weren't great for you is all. 

You did not bring down the average, your brought up the number of sailors posting - still think there should be points for that.

From my position on the sofa with my leg up I am impressed by everyone's performances at the Nature Reserve....fantastic efforts all round. Particularly well done Windxtasy for a 30knt and Flex for his distance.  The fast, young, sailors (!!) Woody Mark, Boz and Antman, you did very well with moderate breezes and managed to uphold the Team's prestige in the league table.  All in all a great day out for everyone concerned and it's good to see the local Mandurah Mob being so continually accommodating of the invasions from Perth....  

Thanks Reg!

Got round to editing the footage of the days action.  Like everyone I was expecting more so was fairly conservative on filming at the start.  However, was plenty enough footage to make editing a brutal job.    Once I realised wind was dying off I started taking lots more so I have literally an hour or more of Canonball and I cruising at sunset, nice but not very exciting viewing.   Wore two Gopro's with the 360 on top of helmet and the Hero5 on side.  This was a mistake as the side camera was in the 360's field of view and in the zone of stiching so it looks weird.  Next time hope to have the 360 on a pole.

Waricle and Windxtasy had quite similar sails and the cap captain normally wears was absent so was hard to tell apart.  I'm pretty sure I labelled them correctly with Waricle the orange tipped sail and Windxtasy the red tip.   If I'm wrong, sorry.   Slugger and Stretch had what looked like the same sail so could not tell them apart and since I haven't met you guys have no clue which is which.  ..sorry.   This is for you Reg (not sure if you were hiding in the bird hide there all day)    https://youtu.be/9W1rfeF_YBU

Greta video Stretch.  Those conditions were staggeringly good just not enough wind....however, if there was a fair bit more it'd be outrageos.  I've never seen such flat water, it's beautiful.  And I liked the bits where other sailors were chasing you.  Anita looked quick in one section.  Good stuff, now I'm really pissed off because flea weight me would have done way over 40 knots in those conditions (ha ha).

Glad you mistook me for Stretch, Reg.  Does this mean I get to post his numbers?   Changed my Avatar as family said mine was shit

OOPS! Flex, sorry about upgrading you.

Another interesting video, Flex, well edited as usual, but some of the shots labelled Windxtasy are actually Waricle. I was wearing a magenta coloured top over my wetsuit. No matter, we know who we are.

Sorry boss, really struggled to tell you guys apart. Since Waricle came over at my gear failure point I thought I had worked out sail colours based on basic times but obviously not.  Can't see much magenta but then again I'm half blind.   Hopefully there was some ok shots of you.  Edit: for historic purposes you can let me know who is who at what timestamp and I can re edit and repost as only takes a few seconds..same goes with Slugger and Stretch if they care

I think our sails would be identical except he was using a 5.4 and I had a 5. 

I am not offended at being mistaken for Waricle because he is a much better sailor than I am and has a much better stance, so he makes me look good!

1:51 is Waricle, not me.

I can't tell Stretch from Slugger at that distance

It was too hard to change the names as I offloaded all the raw files to free up space on my laptop..  So I blanked your name out on that bit and added a comment in the description.  Hope is enough.

Flex, In 2003 I sat at the same table as Quentin Tarantino (with 12 others) and he often had similar production problems I understand, so.........

Great video Flex  I couldn't tell who was who in the vid either, but I can tell you I was wearing a blue helmet. You were going great, impressive clocking up nearly 100km in the pond! Hope to meet you next time
