Fangies Coodanup wind was picking up as I was leaving measured 25kts just before I drove off.  When I arrived was measuring 17/19kts. Any way deliberately left speed board at home becaise I wanted to see if my medium slalom board would be more fun, and yes overall much more fun, just not as exhilirating downwind.  Also leaving the speedboard at home must have unconsciously caused me to leave my GPS's at home.  Could only guess my speeds, I reckon 33/35kts peak speed, and went for a couple of Alphas nailed one good one, maybe a 23/24kt alpha, in reality my peak speed was probably 29.9kts and my best alpha was 19,9kts

Today was a day of contrasts

Possitive I got out for a sail after work.

Negative I had to work first listening to the wind howling.

Positive Actually managed to get rigged up  before 1630

Negative the phone went off at 1630.

Positive  Put a weed fin in (it was weedy everywhere).

Negative  Kicked said weed fin with my achilles as I left the water at the end of the session

Positive  Surpisingly I was reasonably comfortable with the board mostly on the water, so much so I thought about going out to the platform, but decided against it.

Negative Footstrap came apart mid gybe, there is a poitive there as it wasn't whilst I was loaded up going out to the platform.

Positive Just the footstrap screw come loose rather than sheared off.

Negative Snapped my screw driver bit tightening the screw

Positive  I had another screwdriver

Positive Two more nice runs

Positive  Surprised by the speed

Negaitive  One of my DIY GPS's was playing more than normal silly buggers (going to have to pull my finger out on new ones)

Positive  Got an appointment with Simon the Sadist to get my neck and back sorted.

Overall I'll take it as a win, just getting out after wiork is a win. Not hurting myself is a bonus

Best part of the day was catching up with a former MM Johnski who came down to Novara to teach his youngest tacker how to kite

Here's half yesterdays yesults thanks to Waricle. The as yet unaproved watch says I did 29km
