The forecast had been getting weaker and weaker as today approached, but I took the morning off work and headed out anyway, arriving in time for the low tide at 11. Being optimistic I initially rigged a 7.5, but after wobbling about for 20 minutes I changed up to the 8.3. Then happy days - planing 90% of the time with the occasional burst of speed in a gust.

Nice one sparky! I was considering heading down for the low tide, but I had to wait for a delivery between 12-3. Still managed a late arvo sail on the big gear.

We wondered where you were! Glad you got out. Looking a bit ordinary for the rest of the week
