1278 days ago 1 categories  5 - 10 few puffs 10-12kts ENE Coal Point, NSW, AU
Sailed 1.20 - 5pm with a short break on the end of the point
7.5m Turbo- WT64 ( 112ltres) - 35cms tectonics weed demon
It looked quite good at 1pm but silly me believed the forecast and decided to wait for the 14-18kts after 2pm..Of course by 2pm it was 5-11kts..
I need to build myself up to cope with the big sail and the longer board is quite pleasant in light conditions. It was nice to be on the lake.
Got going about 3 times. It was hard work and most of the time it wasn't worth trying as there wasn't any wind after the gust.
I put on about 5kgs when I was sick and couldn't exercise. It's certainly helped with my 2 sec. Since I've come back I've got a Lake Macquarie PB and the best speed I've had at Budgy for a while.
I've lost a bit but I'm still a few kgs more than normal and I noticed it today. I'm sure I would have got going in some of the gusts at my previous weight. . I've got to stop wearing polaroids too- well that looks enough! ( look over the top - ugh maybe not)..
A few times there was some very sloppy boat wake . 3ft rollers coming from one direction with a cross wake at 90 degrees.. The longer board is great just riding over the top where a shorter board would have been submarining and spearing through the waves.
That's a fair distance doing 4kts..
Tony - Andrew - Nic- Gert and Byron on foils , Brett , and a few others winging. I was the only one on a fin.
