2 hours ago 1 categories  15- 23kts NE Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU level 0.21m
6.5m Turbo - RS2 ( 90ltre) - 22cms Atomic few runs then
RS1 ( 80ltre) - 6.2m M2OD - 16.5cms FF
1st Budgy sail in over 2 months..I've lost weight so the usual combo was too much. I was the 1st out there and 1st to finish.
Hardwork walking in and out 4 times.
I went out with the 6.5m - 90 and the wind was consistently strong 18-20kts plus. I got some gybes I was happy with considering how rusty I am.
I hung in for a while but it was a bit knarly for someone out of practice so I came in and wasted the best wind rerigging.
I hit something hard going for a gybe near the white marker. I thought the fin was pushed through the top of the board . Surprisingly it was undamaged ( but wedged in hard) and I didn't crash.
Apparently it was the big 6 x 4 .The marker is in the wrong place as it came off and they guesstimated the position.
By the time I got back out it was a bit patchy for the 80ltre.
Couldn't find any flatwater . The 2sec was in 15cms chop..
Due to the patchy wind and lack of skill I was having trouble working up . I finally got up high where the others were and went for a go but the wind decided to die .. Lost interest so I came in. It kicked in better as I derigged.
Tired from 3 days in a row. zz
Brian is going great!
