Lake George, SA, AU 10 to 15 then 22 to 28 knots SE,  98 L FMX racing, 7.0 GSR gun , 27 tribal weed speed

What a DAY !!  after going out on 8.6 and 138 L and pulling 37 on first run it was time to put that away and the day was devoted to the hour.  I tried all kinds of fins , some proto types testing them across the wind and none would pull over 30 knots rock solid like the 27 cm Tribal weed speed. Last time for 28 hr I stack it 3 times in the weed due to the drag.. I knew that 29 plus only achieveable if your going 30/31 across wind. I went with the weed speed and stayed away from the sides.  started right at the top but to many jybes had me at 26.5 after 5 mins then settled across wind moving the av to 29.  I stayed high as the water was great and the av was building. fin was absolutely rock solid!!  not one spin out and I got lifted in the gusts at 32 knots several times and the fin held.  Pulled every jybe thank goodness one at 27. still above the weather station at 45 mins I knew if everything went well I would get 29.  then above the islands it was faster so average came out to 29.7, then speed run 38.5  into big lake for 30 on the screen,

speed talk constantly in the 31's and 32's some runs 35.  Thanks for the girls on the beach who witness it..  so proud of myself. being analysisng this for about a year and training hard.  So thankful I'm semi retired and have the ability to travel to windy places.

Dont you love it when a plan comes together!..  now how to break 30 but a beer first !
