My mate was still in residence when I got to the run and he brought along his mate IBS, so much procrastination a quick purge and sacrificing of others was done before I actually hit the water.

First run was a short one to suss out harness lines and breeze, second run out past the platform on the way to Claudesville, tack back was pinching hard up wind, quite successfully it would seem as I almost lost wehere I was until I found that I was just heading south of the Ward piont sandbar channel marker, whoops, a quick little bear away sorted that out.

Another run out past the platform not worrying to much about staying upwind, same coming back.

Next run sent the naughty, a bit lively toward the end, but a lot of fun, another climb upwind past the platform and then the homeward run A bit lively again the last km coming over the back of the junk.

Fun sail, enough to distract my mate with some porn (of the windsurfing variety) to give me some peace for a while.

Good fun,  long runs were +6km, well happy with the distance.

Sorry Slugga, It was bad of me I know.

Well that was a bit unque, I was the benificary of 2 sacrifices today. Firstly Anita rigged her big stuff, the Steve left early.

I went with the 60cm board 6.2 Koncept and 20cm@55 deltoid. Annita launched 1st and spent some time floating around, (this may have been why Steve gave up), by the time I'd waded out to water deep enough to launch Annita was on the plane.

First run I got a nice gust and hit 29kts, then pottered for a while.

Half hour later it had filled in nicely, followed Waricle down the NM run, but I didn't start high enough, tried a few alphas, and tried to get the 5X10 up to 30. Came close but couldn't manage it.

Only waricle, Basil, Gloria, Aninita and myself on the water.

I think we all had fun, nice pleasant sailing in the sun.
