Burrum Heads, QLD, AU

Beautiful day at Burrum, good wind direction, just poor wind speed of 5 knots! Still, great fun out there pumping away with Barbie and under the expert supervision of Captain Ray, who was aboard the team flagship and carrier, HMAS Bertha.

Lake Weyba, QLD. A great sail with Pete & Ken. Still a bit gusty but hey, no complaints from me. Used the 117W, Blade 7.0 & Cr@p 36. In fact B4 I left home I looked at the forecast/readings & trees. Took the little board & put it in the garage, same with 6.3 & the medium board. No need for any of that! Gee it gave me plenty of room in the car! Got down to the lake, looked at the wind & thought sh1t. Asked DXLR8if he could bring the gear I dumped for me on his way.

Wind dropped a bit so rang and cancelled the pick up and rigged my bigger gear (that's all I brought) and went out. I usually use the Sting2 44 with this board & sail but thought the fin a bit big for the gusts. Wacked in the old CX 36 and out i went. Gee had a good sail. No tail walking in the gusts, got on the plane easily in the light wind and no real problem spin outs.  

Burrum Heads. Nice day on the water with Barbie and some other bloke.
