10-20kts SW/SSW Brandon Lane Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU - 7.5m Overdrive + 115 Xcross + 20cms delta then 6.6m Severne

Not much when I got there so rigged big.. Worked up to the flats and it came in. I could handle it but it was tiring and I've got an 8hr drive tomorrow so I didn't want to wreckmy neck with the big sail.( did anyway..Undecided )  Got the 26kts with this kit.

Back in and rigged 6.6m and of course it had died..Oh well worked back up and the gods smiled on me and it came back in!Tongue out 

Fun sail. Not powered up enough for good speed bearawya but feel I'm finally getting the hang of gybing. Really thought I would have got a 20 alpha so disapointed. Probably not quite powered up enough as I did a lot of planing exits..Actually got tactical for once and went for an alpha PB..bummer. Anyway good fun pity that board at 75cms wide isn't faster..

 You could sail anywhere today - I even went right over to the shore. Only nudged bottom a few times.The lake is brilliant we just need the wind!

 Milsy out with 8.9m . Then Frothie slogging upwind. Mick , Pete and Bruce all rigging as I went. Wind came in then but I had to get home to get ready to go skiing tomorrow. No sailing for me fopr c 3 weeks now. Doing other stuff. Have fun!

Bummer ! Lucky they didn't hurt themselves !Surprised Pete will be getting a comples after hitting the wood  + this and almost getting wiped out by kiters!

Where was it? Can you mark it on the map? I thought all the hazards were gone!

Oh, sweet numbers, I see why they still call you Bruce.

looking good sue, well done, enjoy your time at the snow,

yeah we marked it, its a big metal tractor wheel or something, its just under the surface with weed growing on top, so it just looks like weed,

its about 200m from shore, directly on the line were the chop meets the weed to the left of rigging up as if you were looking at the bridge, ha, you should easily be able to find it now, its ok, we will mark it good,

someone told me to mark it, then tell the marine rescue people and they will take it away
