Coodanup very dissapointing day for me i could only manage 25kts

Denham, WA. Tried a new spot at Fowler's Camp just south of Eagle Bluff in the afternoon after a relatively fruitless morning in Denham bay. Initially went for a run across the bay at Fowler's Camp but the wind got stronger and the swell got bigger as I made my way across and gave that idea up. However, on further assessment it looked like sailing the northwestern shoreline could be the go so drove on the sandy track to this beach and found following the shoreline heading northwest meant I was bearing away a reasonable amount in the prevailing southerly and could run between the swell, salvaging an epic run.

Now that was more like it! 

I was still tired and sore after yesterday's battle with the elements, and was tempted not to sail, but being only 5 minutes away I couldn't ignore the wind and thought I must go and check it out. My plan was - if it is as windy as yesterday I will go home. If it is only 12 kn I am too weary for a 7m sail and I will go home. If it is 15 - 18 then...

15 - 18 on the gauge with gusts to 21. 

Being weary after yesterday I decided to ignore my algorithm that said 6.2, and I went with the 5.8. It was windy enough for the speed board but I decided to go for comfort. I am sure I sacrificed a bit in peak speed, but it sure made up for it in fun.

Saw a 30 on the dial a few times but it didn't last for 2 sec. Not enough power to go deeper downwind for a better 2 sec. Maybe I should have used the 6.2...

All the numbers were better than yesterday except for the 2 sec.

5X, hr, nm and km were the best since January when I broke my foot.

I felt today that I was starting to find my mojo again (meaning starting to remember how to go fast)
