Awfull time today.     Underpowered with 5.2m....tried a small B&J board that turned out to be a sinker...got caught out with no wind for a while...just lucky some wind returned with solid rain....very uplifting standing around in wet wetsuit waiting for rain to stop...can't explain why Lyn reckons Iam mad .

Interesting Day on the Island.The predictions were for 30 knots & a mix of tidal options-the plan was for a quick sail on the Eastern Run in the morning ,a sail on the Northern Run at lunch & then a quick sail on the eastern run before running to catch the boat back to Cairns to go to work ...

We were greeted by Grey Skies ,huge seas & very strong wind but a rapidly retreating tide meant only 4 Eastern Runs before the water became too shallow.Out wide it was the worst chop I've sailed in for months so we retreated until low tide .

As low tide approached a series of rain squalls moved in turning the Northern Run into something resembling a washing machine wash-on the second run out my fin cavitated resulting in an in harness wipe out & another completely destroyed X9 180-230 boom .(both arms snapped)AHHRRRrr.A very unpleasant swim & reef crossing followed...

The Eastern Run became operational again at 315 pm so after a couple of tentative scouting runs the pedal went down with some nice speeds resulting .!!!

Tried the Naish sp95 & caspar 29 out wide-the fin was brilliant but the board didnt like the chop one bit -it was brutal ...
