Stansbury, SA, AU SE 12-17 with some 20 at times

SXs 90, GPS 6.6, BP 28weedy

Mid week sail with Tricky. Headed out inside the exposed spit and settled in for a while. The water was pretty flat and gybing was fun as we waited for the wind to pick up. Richard was hammering out a good hour and sailing well.

I came in and changed fins to a cut down 34 FO and headed out onto the spit but was sliding all over the place, so back in for another fin change. Found some good speed but apart from that Tricky was on his game and sailing better.

The weed was a nuisance today and we came in on the dying breeze.

Still a good daySmile

WoW what a 2hr work out, missed 2 jibes, finnished with 2 frothies with Hoppy & drove home to roast dinner LFG (Lifes F#$%K Good)SmileTongue outCool

CA 101 KA 6.6 Lessacher 32 Duo Weedie

Was matching it with hoppy on the runs cathing him on the jibe exits but Hoppy was smasshing me on the gusts, thats what you get when you only bring the big board & the wind is better than forcast Undecided Hoppy was having a party on the 100m flat spot carving out some cracker alphas as I was working on my work out after the month sitting on my ass at work. Knocking out a few k's on some longer runs working on some fitness. I ended up over board over finned but gee wiz I had a bunta time 2 hours droped 2 jibes then stopped to have a chat with hoppy , then finnished of the last 15m with fadeing wind and larger chop & flaging sailing skills Cry Hoppy bailed so the call of a nice cold beer was too  much to resist so I did a final nauty on the  way in (not in the top 50 Innocent) but did give it a shot, might not be able to walk tomorow but hey I had a great timeSmile

Nice session there guysCool

I've got a month off starting this Saturday. I'm really keen for a sail at Stansbury with you two. Could you keep me in mind and ring or email me the day before or early morning and I'll come over:-) It's been a long long time since I last sailed there!!!!

Thanks guys.

Will have to line up a Strong SE and set out at low tide. That gets you a long stretch inside the spit out to the middle oyster lease. So you go from flattish to small chop and gybe around in the lee of the leases ( which is pretty flat ) head back in along the marker floats and bear away onto the flat and gybe in the bay, in close.  There's no weed until the sea comes over the spit, early to mid afternoon. After that the chop increses and you need a weed fin. 

The BOM have made it harder to know the wind strength at Stansbury by not using the Edithburgh weather station and now it goes off Minlaton airfield weather station. Anyway i should be able to line up some good SE soon and will call you. Be good to see you here too Jimbob but after sailing at Beachport and LG, you might be dissapointed. You can stay at my place in Minlaton if you like. There is a small bluestone hut near the house. Its a bit rough with  the possum in the ceiling thoughLaughing, but you are welcome to it.

Tricky hasn't finished harvest yet and is tied up for a few more weeks. We discussed a distance day though on a good SE,which might suit you PJ.
