Windxtasy (14191km):
8 days ago two boards, two sails, two fins, gusty wind.
When rigging, wind reading was the same as yesterday, when I was underpowered, so I rigged the same again (being the largest I had) but found I was quite overpowered on hitting the water. After a few uncomfortable runs on two different boards I came in and changed down a sail size. That was much more comfy. practiced alphas again but either couldn't get the crosswind speed, or messed up somehow.
Pity there wasn't more wind because the water depth was lovely and it was reasonably flat
Best gybe was actually the third best alpha - alpha 18.327, max speed in 21.6, min speed 7.2, max speed out 22.8, that's only 4.5 kn less than the max speed, so I am pretty happy with that. Just need more speed going in...

Light wind cruising with the occasional gust. Good to catch up with the crew and to see Shane O sending it on the big gear out the back.

Gloria (978km):
8 days ago Coodanup, WA, AU Arrived early so my daughter could have a go before the wind kicked in. Already white cappin…but looks are deceiving 😉 Wind was up and down most of the day and by the time it really came in I was done. Lovely sunny day and good company. Waricle, Jeff, my daughter Anquet and I rigged at Nairns, everyone else at Wamba st? Great to see so many sailors out. Sorry I missed you Anita.
