sboardcrazy (27763km):
3 minutes ago 10-17kts + NE Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU level 0.25m
7.5m Turbo - RS4 ( 111ltres) - 24cms FF
Acres of snotweed flats. Not much clear water. A bit scary going through it although it didn't snatch. You could feel the drag . I felt fast but for ages couldn't get more than 23.5kts.
Mike found a clear short channel and just sailed that.
I risked the weed which was fun although draggy . The run below the weedbed was unreal..felt a bit like a Burrum run.. It was pretty broad . powered enough to be fun but not enough for speed.
2 sec was on the way in. It just started to kick in as I came in. Not really enough wind for decent gybes. Still not bad for a NE in May!
It would be great to have more wind so you could use a smaller board and thinner fin. The FF ended up with a moustache which is unusual.
Pete went out for a few runs but came in saying the weedbergs were too extensive. I understood why when I went out. 
Just Mike and I. Greg F went out as I came in.
