Another great day over on the Island! Wind a touch lighter than yesterday, 18~22kn SSE being my guess.
Sailed with Dr Cam who was carving it up with his usual prowess punching out an impressive NM for today!!!
Also had 3 kiters for company- Ranger Karlena, friend of friends Morgan making his debut sesh off the Island and another nice chap. They couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces!
The sun was shining and the water clarity was absolutely brilliant! But very shallow to begin with so plugged the Tribal Delta 22cm into the Jag 108 with Severne 6.2 R4 and followed Dr Cam around for a bit just hoping he had an equivalent sized fin or smaller. Had a couple of "smelly shorts" moments for sure chartering through some bombies out wide. Decided to have a break and wait for the incoming tide to fill in some more, which was truly welcomed with open arms, so I then plugged in the TSW 31 and spent the rest of the sesh making the most I could out of the glorious reef flats before it was time to pack up.

Awesome way to wrap up the weekend- highly recommended!!!
