Tabou Manta 54cm, NP RSR Eii 5.8 Elmo Δ Weed 25cm

Fark it's been a long time since my last sail!!!!! Working again went out to look at the water thinking that another skunking was on the cards as the wind dropped about 10 knots just before I walked out the door.

Had a look at Avi butthe wind was the wrong direction, went down to Novara and it just looked light and shitty, was just about to flag it and go get a jar of coffee to go with the milk I got last night instead of sailing when I saw a yellow sail down at Len Howrad take a big face plant, thought Farkit I'm down there even if it is only for 15mins on the water.

Got down there to Find Stroppo rigging up and Maximum Distraction out there doing the stunt riding, hard to believe he's only been sailing a couple of months.

On Stropp's advise I dug the 5.8 out of the dim dark archives (last used 14/12/2010), rigged up put on the yellow glass's and the cars Hazard lights and set out.

Once going it was quite lively out there, plenty of air time but surprising quite a few grooves through the chop to belt down.

Very high tide again, only 40mins on the water sailed and derigged into the dark.

Well happy good to get out and sail with some good company.

Happy to be within Coowee of the Stroppy one
