Quarannup, WA, AU Iso150 EvoII 7.8 Pepecarbonweed 26

East end of the harbour, 9kts on arrival, 5 mins later Shane arrived, wind was building. Launched and planing all of the time. Scott arrvied and soon after a rain squall and 20+ kts. Choppy as anything, Isonic sometimes in control. Great fun winter sail, really wanted a 30, got it on the dial but knew it would not stand up to 2 seconds.

Looks like a nice little session Evets. 30 knots in sharp chop is an impressive feat! Sorry no backup from here, no amount of willing it on, got the wind strength up enough :-(

Wind was great in albany all day. I had to be off the water at noon but wind kept in, great winter conditions. air temp 14C, wind chill temp 10C. Water temp 9C, I wonder if that is warmer than the estuary?

As for the chop: I was beyond the edge trying to go for it today, repeatedly thought I should slow down before it went badly wrong. I think I was lucky! I will wear a gopro next time and see if it looks bad, if so I will post vid. If it looks smooth I will just talk it up!

Fangy, I am surprised you question my sanity. This was a reason I was offered a position on the team. I believe there to be a fine line between sane and the other side, I cannot remember when I last saw it!

Evets I think we have a problem. Who exactly is the sane one on our team then? I had always thought it was you. I was going for eccentric myself, but I reckon the rest of this mob havent seen sane since sometime in the 60's. What is the collective noun for a mob of loonies then?

Couldn't resist this, loonies being a slang term for lunatics. A collective noun for a bunch of loonatics is a discombobulation. Whereas the term for a bunch of loons is an asylum. Your choice Laughing

I dont think so Pepe -a discombobulation is a dance move under the glitter ball in the 70's that involved bobbing up and down and then ending it with the splits resulting is a dislocated pelvis..Very popular in the  Mykonos discos, or so Hardie tells me.

Well, he'd be the one to know, should ask him about the "mud crab boogie".

I thought discombobulation is when firiebob farts in his spa and the other occupants have olfactory discomfort.

Fairybob has a bath with his friends, that in itself sounds like discombobulation. ( it only becomes a 'spa' when he farts)Embarassed

Harry is the sane member of the Mandurah Mob, Fangy. He is my friend, whom others seem to not see, he keeps me company while I am going for a distance day. I often hear him singing the Spam song. On reflection I think maybe he is losing it!

He does often get the words wrong by slipping in some Brittaney

Harry is an accomplished actor with several credits to his name. Here he is in the Spam song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8huXkSaL7o  I will leave you to spot him. I found his work with Britany in the adults only section. I was going to post his scenes where he slips into Brittany but that was just a bit too rude.

so there you have it folks, the only sane team member eats spam and porks Brittany.
