Coal Point, NSW, AU

Stingray 115, Flow 1000, Naish 5.4 then 6.4

NE 10-16

Struggled with the 5.4 but was great later on the 6.4

Jimmy's beach, nsw. wingfoil - fin. Windawoppa had good wind for the foil before midday. Out on the mongrel axis ArtPro 1051. Happy that it worked after repairing big missing chunk in trailing edge. I could feel some warbling. Watch said 19kts, thought I could crack 20 today but the mast has a furry trailing edge, I remembered that when going so that was that, top speed almost 19. Best alpha on the wingding. 38k's on the wing. 
Harness was good for back upwind runs to give arms a rest. 
Patrik 120, Ezzy 6.5, 35cm was a poor choice for the fin session. Not underdone, it motored around nicely and I felt super stable and good form, but a bit light.

Went out early.  Had to work to get it flying. By the time it got stronger l got tired. Still enjoyed scooting about with Barry. MICK, Lyndon and lan..See how tomorrow goes?

Marmong Point, NSW, AU

E-NE 5-15 knots

Mikes Lab Formula, NP Flight Evo3 6.6m, Axis 799.

Forecast was for 15 knots E-NE which took an hour to come in. Dogged around for most of the hour with only 2 flights.

When the breeze picked up the old brigade went in as they were set for lighter winds and were absolutely caning it.

Mick and Tibor were flying in very little breeze.

Wind steadied to about 12 knots and I had a chance to test the small foil with a foil sail.

Very happy with the last hour doing over 20 km in what can only be described as a washing machine.

Big cruisers, yachts, fishing boats etc were all heading to Speers Point for a music concert.

I don't think there were too many boaties who know any of the rules regarding sailing.

On top of that the VS class had their State Titles right in front of the club, and a runabout decided to set 10 crab traps in the middle of their course.

All in all an entertaining day and good to have a few runs with Ian at the end.

 5-12kts then few puff 13-14kts ENE Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU - level 0.63 - 67

 Sailed 12.53pm - 4.17 pm with a short break. Off the plane a bit at 1st.

7.5m Custom Turbo ( 1st go) - RS4 ( 112ltres) - 24cms FF

 Well not the 15-20kts predicted but perfect for trying the bottom end of the new sail. I rigged early  intending to test it and then rig down but it never came in. That suited me fine as at that level it would have been choppy in stronger winds but was only 4-5" max chop in those winds.

I used less downhaul than usual. Mike still thought it was over downhauled but it was less than what I had in the pics I sent to Ben.

 Not enough for decent speeds or gybes but fun.

 I noticed the boom had slipped to the bottom of the cutout by the end.  I'll have to tighten it.

 I could feel the sail pick me up in a gust but it was powerful , light , balanced and easy to gybe. Very happy.

 It will be interesting to see it's top end with more downhaul.

Out by myself for the 1st few hours tythen Mike and Mick came out for a while.

 It was thigh deep straight off the shore and in the shallowest areas so I went right up high. The ' wind' was funnelling through between the point and Buff. 

 I was a bit lost. I couldn't find the pole ( miles above it) and the large wood hazard and markers are under water . I avoided going down low in case I hit it.

That was pleasant.
