Holloways Beach, QLD, AU

went out for a look see.....wind was was around 8 kts. went for a sail with 8.2 m2 sail for 1.5 hours wind dropped out,struggled in then packed up

wind come in went for another sail ...sailed for about another hour....wind was around 10-12 kts. but with 8.2 sail was ok.

Hoppy bob come for a drive and is hanging out to go for a sail soon himself when conditions permit.

Arlington Reef sse 15-22 then Green Is se-20-22.

RRD 105 X fire Sting 38 RSS E 2 7.0

Fabulous day with great wind direction for Arlington -unfortunately enough water for only 90mins .

Rough as anything out in the middle & difficult as always getting back up wind -off the NM run the chop was brutal & between the Island & Arlington was as bad as i've seen it .

Great team effort -hopefully we've done enough to pip the Tassie boys ...!!!

CA53, Talon 32, 6.4 Koncept, Arlington reef and Green Island.

Team day at Green with a goal. Was to stuffed after eight days of sailing to keep up with Kel on the K's.

Well done Kel, huge effort. Probably the first time ever that I haven't been able to keep up on the distance.

Edit; The speed board probably wasn't the ideal board to do a reef run on but felt better when I found out I wasn't the only one to struggle getting back to the island. At one stage I thought I might have to give up and sail back to Holloways. First time using a Talon in this board and very impressed with the performance in less than ideal conditions. The Venom 30 felt nice in this board but the Talon just took it to another level.

Had a check on google and we ended up 5.3K's downwind so it was no wonder we had trouble getting back to the island.

Snags and Kellie, you should wait until we all postCool 

First run to the south east corner of the reef was 16K's long and then a 10K downwinder along the edge of the reef.

Green Island

Green Island, QLD, AU

Go Green!! Headed to the island today with Cam, Gaz and Toody not expecting that much wind. So in a last ditch effort for the month we decided to go for distance and hour. 

On arrival the wind was still a good 20knts so in a mad panic i rigged my new 7.2Np evo2 RS Slalom(thanks Cam!) and headed to Arlinton. Once there we all sailed the reef until it ran out of water then headed back upwind to the island through the roughest and most confused water i have ever experienced in my 25 years of sailing.

Used Isonic 96 Strike 34 and NP 7.2

Well done guys, top effort, could see the writing on the wall after Toody posted.  Wait a minute, we've still got over 4hrs .... - no wind though!!

Sounds like tough conditions to, with chop and going down to the reef and then back up-wind again!!  Well done Cam on the 34 knots!!

Six PB's is worthy of a cup!!

Kel & Gaz,

Didn't get to congratulate you on the PB's in all the excitement.  Great work.  Gaz, Now I know you're smiling with a 30+knot NM too.

Geez if it was rougher than the day I sailed over to Arlington then it must have been bloody rough.  Maybe outgoing current opposing the swell??

Now, when is that Winter Cup up for grabs Wink

WoooooooooooHoooooooooooo Guys, so happy for you, you've done us proud, snatched victory at the last minute and a bucket load of PB's for the effort Cool We've been bowled over on the last day a few times, revenge is so sweet Laughing

Awesome result on a adverage day. Green Island is a beautiful place and the nicest place I've ever sailed but it's not the easiest place to do what these guys have done, we have to realize Green is 27 Ks off the coast and Arlington is another 5 to 11 depending on direction. It can get fairly rough between Green and Arlington, you are a long way from anywhere if it goes to poo. Again well done guys Smile
