sboardcrazy (24919km):
12 days ago 5 - 12kts E- ENE Jimmies Beach Hawkes Nest
7.5m Turbo- 125ltre Tabou Bullit - 38cms Tectonics weedy
My 1st sail here.
I didn't think I'd get going but it looked so flat and inviting I decided to go for a plod. It was lovely heading out over the small swells .
Patchy but there were a few 10-12kt patches out near the Spit which were fun. I felt like going for miles but it was geetting a little more choppy and I was aware of how far out I was.
I probably missed the best of it coming in for a rest and talk to a friend.
By the time I went back out it was over. Dave joined me and we only just got back in. It was a real balancing act on that gear.
Even underpowered and overcast it was lovely! I've got to come back here on a good NE forecast.
Dave said there were dolphins near us but I was too focussed on staying upright..
Looking forward to some more wind over the weekend. Hopefully it won't be too rough.
