Primbee, NSW, AU. Battling all day. The equipment used list is long. Primbee goodness eludes me but i still like it.
Somehow not cold at 7. Rigged 92ltr 6.5  23 fin. Big gust changed my mind so i quickly de rigged and rigged 5.6.
Out there! Well warmed up from fast rigging exercise. Fin touching lots more than yesterday, lower water. Sketchy not knowing the place and no one around so i went in for 19 delta. I felt like it probably would have been ok if i gave it the berry’s and got the tail out of water, but no local knowledge yet.
I knew, but i guess i didn’t want to believe what was happening at this point, like i was told it would do, it was outta there. Moving off to sea, power quickly diminishing as i made decisions that put me one step behind it as it faded.
6.5 again same board. Nope.
Next try no mucking around. The foil board i picked up while down here got called into action with fangy 28 fin. Nope.
Around to the spot Terry mentioned to try the foil. Nope. Anyway, there were large jelly’s there.

You've had a good introduction. The only time I sailed there was in 2015. It was 6 degrees and my feet were so cold I couldn't feel anything to find the straps.

Other than that I had a great time.
