Albany, WA, AU

Nice to see a 40 been a while, cold and brutal conditions today with a heap of South in the wind. Took off from Rushi but probably would have been better from Lilacs as the return run ro Rushi side was brutal with the board being lifted. Fastest runs on Port Tack which is differant for Albany. One thing it got so glarry on the water you couldn't make out if it was small chop or large chop, sending it blind as a bat got the heart pumping.

Massive white out while Ronni and I where heading back towards Rushi, both of us had to put the sails down, lasted 15 minutes of just spray flying everywhere, couldn't see Albany was like being in a thick Fog, no rain just persistant 45-50knots just spraying water. People on the shore must have thought we where mad.

 

Great sailing with the big Fella, even though he doesn't like Port Tack think he managed a PB on that tack. Bit of a mission to get back to Rushi lucky we called it when we did as it would have been a long walk.

What an brutal sw sail this was with Boz. at one stage i thought Albany was gonna freez over. We had to lay low in the middle of the harbour

(knee deep on the bank) for 15min so this squall blew over. It was just insane Laughing

For me this is an pb on porttack 2s, 5x10 and nm. happy with that. We couldnt do down wind runs starboard what is my preferd tack. Also very happy for Boz to get an 40. Well done mate.

As i am writing this(4.30pm) the wind is still gusting 40+ kn and tide has drop to glass of but we are to buggered .Yell

Maybe more tomoz or monday

First session in a while at the chook pond. Had enough breeze to sail in then just waiting for wind.. after 2hrs or so a little squall came, enough to sail out. Really good to catch up with the legends Kai,Ant, Mark and Chris

Next time.....

Coods was boiling when Kai and I rocked up,Doddi and woody already in the car park. Doddi called 50 knots :O looked like we was on for some exciting speed sailing, rigged up the small gear and then booooom ,,,the wind died . A while later a squall came in to send us out and into the chook for a 5 hour hypothermia mud walking session. Was a pleasure to freeze my blks off with the boys, Kai,Woody,Tim and Chris.

Very brave you 2 and well done Boz on getting a 40 😎 Don’t worry it was bloody cold up here to but I’m sure the stronger wind you had in Albany made it feel even colder. Good luck tomorrow and Monday, hope you both get some PBs 💪

Good work in Albany lads! Glad you got a sail, and for the explorers... awesome effort scoping it out.

Thanks for the company at coods lads. Was greast to catch up. So little wind here the past 2 years we hardly see each other. I'm still thawing out.

Got the tail end of that squall thinking it would hang in- just enough to barely plane to the pond as it shut down. 21kts max. Small squall came through after about 2 hours- Tim and I sailed out because water getting too low for 26/27cm weedspeed rake with growing snot weed making it hard to start. I glanced at GPS and saw it in low 30s before an underpowered downwind squirt- water flat as. Looked down to check speed at end and GPS had locked up- ("no samples for 10 seconds"). It only did that once before (earlier this year). I've had ~4 years use out of it so probably time to make a new one. Of course it didn't save anything so one upwind run into the pond peaking at 21kts hahaha. Slowest gps session ever. Reset GPS and waited back at the car. Wind filled in a few times but onlu 10-15 knots for a few minutes. Did a couple of barely planing runs out the front but max speed 17kts hahaha. Nice way to christen my brand new 6.2m sail. Pumps great!
