hoppybogan (25974km): Stansbury 20-25 SSE SXs90, NP5.4, Fang 22 A goodly amount of wind after work

1% Bogan (2413km): Stansbury, 6.2KA, 100l Falcon, 30 Lessacher. Over powered first run on 7m, quick change down to find Hoppy and Simon rigging up. Settled in nicely for a great session | ||||||||||||||||||
Sammy (43182km): Shit where do I start. Well let's start with tea the night before, After about 2kg of steak the night before to get some energy for a discussed distance day well, woke at 3am sitting my pants after a shart that I thought would be a good fact. 🤣 Not great so cleaned my self up and emptied the remainder ☺️☺️ Well it didn't end there about an hour later back out digging a hole at 4am.
Soon after feeling crap, 3 hours sleep and no training or sailing much lately SURE distance day great idea. After no more bow movements or sleep rigged in the dark hoping for some good wind. After watching Daishy for an hour me and Carl decided their was enough wind. The first 100km for me where gruling as I was even gluging at times. Nothing else to report except felt like i was going to poo my wetsuit for the first 150km, that and at the 230km Mark me and Carl headed in to charge out useless watch battery's ⌚️. I was feeling beat up and not sure how I would go on but after a much needed port I was back in the great mental game and had my Mo Jo back.
Me and Carl headed back out and to help with the boredom we started doing speed runs. Not great when going for distance but it sure was put blasting the flats with Carl. He was on fire 🔥 yesterday by the way. I had in my head I'll do 300 plus km but then thought Carl and Pete will both have Pbs and I want one too God damn it 😭😭. So game on had to get another 120km in the dying sun and best way was to head up with Daishy and do some long fast runs as time was against my Pb. Also managed a good hour up there 😀 The sun and my watch would both be an issue. Really happy to keep Daishy company for the last few hours when he must have been feeling it Mentally and physically, Yea ha I have done it bloody he'll. 410km up. Soon after Daishy had the world record and we were both cheering 🍻 so happy to be there to witness such an Amazing achievement. 👏 well done mate 👏 👍 👌 Just Awesome. So after pushing Daishy to get to 600km we came back in the Pitch black and struggled to make out the 2 Islands as we went thought on our way home. Simply a perfect way cruising over the weed in the dark to finish an Awesome day.
Well Done on the Pb to both Carl and Daishy | ||||||||||||||||||
Captain bogan (50569km): Lake George, SA, AU Wow what a day at the golden lake one of the best 😊. Up at 5am to do ks but the wind was patchy at the start. Sam and me rigged and waited and daishy headed out for an initial glug. The wind soon came in. Sesh 1 on Patrik 115 / 6.9 loft racing blade and 24 fangy. The fangy was rock solid across and upwind / downwind - managed a 35 knot peak and mile and hour on this setup - went in at 1pm for a GPS recharge and sail and board change. Sesh 2 on Patrik 87 / 6.3 loft racing blade / tribal 20 delta sym - another great kit. Did a few speed runs down near the spit before cruising to get the ks and pb. Had some great runs with Sam and Pete. Managed a 40 knot screen and 39.75 but 2 sec was pulled back lol. Hope for some wind in the next few days so I can get on the speedy... | ||||||||||||||||||
Peter Daish (26108km): Lake George, SA, AU (10 to 12 knots at dawn built to 25 knots shifting from SW to S from about 10 am.) What a blast!! thought I'll give the record a go solo, dawn till dusk and with a new moon it was going to be pitch black by 9pm. Set off at 6am with 113L with 7.8 gun GSR 24 tribal full delta. slow start for the first hr achieving maybe 30 kms then wind built over the morning to insane 25 knots with my big gear. I had a tight schedule so reluctant to change but it was good that my harness broke at 285KM mark so sail in on arms and change harness, some food, and FMX 98 L racing board and 7.0GSR gun, 22 delta sym. nice combo and did literally 4 25.5hr in a row from cockies to uncle kevs, nice flat section across there and this is where i was going to stay. tried few alphas and 2 speed runs but this was a ridiculous thought as I got caught in weed etc. what was I thinking? Jimbob came over for a sail for a few runs. at 4pm I had done 400kms. It was going to be tight. Thank goodness I was on the FMX. I could do 50kmhr across wind. with turns and gps checks I just hoped the wind would hold strong. Was feeling strong except my hand strength due to carpal surgery 7 weeks ago. Started to have trouble grabbing boom after the turn. Luckily all day I missed 3 gybes, although the last 3 hrs lots were off the plane Sam came over for the last 3 hrs and we smashed it out finsihing in pitch black last run through the islands was scary and 35 knots across weedbeds home was just by feel. Thanks Carl and Sam for coming out early, 1450kms between us. Wow. thanks to my awesome wife, who has let me retire early. I am very grateful and proud of myself. no photos yet as finished in the dark. nice to do whole process by myself, set up , rig , food , drink emergencies, finished bringing stuff off the water and semi derigging at 10;30pm. Thanks to Gun Sails, FMX racing boards and Tribal fins helping me out. !!
