822 days ago Green Island, QLD, AU Another fun sesh in Far North Tropical Paradise! Wind 13~18kn SE with a few higher gusts.
Um'd and Ah'd this morning before finally deciding to take the late ferry over. Thought I'd be sailing solo, but was pleasantly surprised to see our Sydney friend Al Jamar already out on the water when I arrived. Rigged up to start around midday and enjoyed an hour or so with Al, in lighter wind.
Unplugged the weed fin and went straight for the pointer as soon as the water depth increased. Breeze was now a little more consistent, so enjoyed scooting around the top paddock for the rest of the sesh.
No speed runs today due to wind strength/direction. Ended up a day more for distance with lots of gybe practice!
Left the gear on the Island, as the breeze is forecast to kick up a notch, so I'll be back for more tomoz!!
Used the ol' XO Turbo 100lt 67W, Severne 7.8 OD M2, Tribal SW31 then MK1 38
