meh not bad considering the lack of wind and some wrong rigging decisions

the 5.0 although not the right sail for the day was extremely slippery with the 57 mistral and 24 custom weedy

 

5.0 koncept, 57 mistral slalom, 24 custom weedy then 7.0 reflex, 31 jp weed

Melville Beach, WA, *B111, Reflex 7.8, CF 44

Bad location choice, the gusts were very small and cross off/off. Water was beautifully flat though. Dropped into Peli on the way home and had a quick chat to Snake, Sbides and Grant.

One horrible session; with choppy, sloppy water and inconsistent light winds. Iso 101, 7.5 Turbo, 38 pointer.

I cannot understand why the water is so lumpy with relatively light winds, but the direction (generally Easterly) seems to have something to do with it. The fetch on an Easterly is similiar to a S Westerly so that dosn't seem to be the answer. Does anybody know?

Had a look at Melville after picking my daughter up from school and it was looking very flat and not very windy.

Dave I think it had something to do with the high tide and the chop been able to bounce back all the rock walls along the bank. Thats why when there is a south easter it is choppy out by Jojos but the further you get away from eg. up the point it seems to be not as bad
