Melville Beach, WA, AU. The "Forecast" suggested Liptons or Coodanup and the mobsters confirmed they were heading there.     Since the forecasts have been so flakey thought I'd wait for the wind to kick in before commiting to the journey.  Never happened, Reg took the risk and reported he was skunked.   Reg and Richo turned up at Melville and reported no wind but the "forecast" was for it to kick in.  Headed there since close, nice to meet you Richo and looked like there was enough wind.  Rigged the big sail thinking I'd be over cooked but was just nicely powered.   Was normal gusty, shifty wind with a few lulls that Reg kept going in but there was wind at least.  Started to cook in the wetsuit but thankfully a rain squall came through to cool things off.   Tide was about the same as yesterday so could zoom about the shallows. 120 Tabou Rocket, 8.6 Severne Turbo M4, FF24

Drove to Coodanup, drove to Liptons, drove to Melville...sailed at Melville!  Pleasant to sail with less pain from my frail spine. Thank God for Doctors.  Flex chased me into the water but failed to catch me so we both did butterfly avoiding for about an hour and a half.  Met Richo who should be able to go very fast being twice as tall and heavy and athletic as me!

Sailed at Lucky Bay today in some average winds but still good to get my first score on the board.  Only had 5.8 on 98ltr Manta so a little underdone.

Caught up with Flex and Reg for the first time, top blokes with good advice, cheers.

Went to coods and no one and no wind so ended up at Liptons and stood around talking till the wind kicked in.

Not bad effort Reg, smoked me in all but 2 categories.  Considering you just got out of hospital from back surgery, either you are doing very well or I'm doing very badly and probably the later

good thing I didn't attempt a forecast this morning I think. It would only have been embarassing.

Glad you got a decent sail in the end Reg, and that your back has improved.

Richo, you obviously need the 7.0 Severne Mach 2 I have for sale on Seabreeze!
