When I saw the winds go SSE, I thought I's try Liptons instead of Fangy;s which when I got there was SSW.  Had some fun wif YoYo, and saw Rod on the water.  JP Slalom 8, 66wide, 108L, TR-9 6.3m, Pepeweed 26/48.

Fangy's skunked!

Got one nice run to boundary Island, sucked fangy and bono out, then wind died and turned more easterly, took three tacks to get back. Then wind was very off and on, with very short gusts. After we'd all called it quits and down rigged wind turned back southerly and picked up. Somebody upstaire is having one big laugh at our expense. Guess we should have gone to Liptons.

Whilst I am waiting for today's sea breeze to arrive I am trying to master the art of video upload. Here are the links to the you tube clips of last Thursday - I will see if I can embed the video in the meantime...

They are shot at 60framesp/s and 1080 hd, so if wish you can watch in high def - watch on youtube(click on the youtube icon on bottom right of screen) then adjust the youtube settings - icon on the button right of the you tube screen.

 

Well it looks as though I jinxed today nicely. Fangy's stayed in the gusty SE air stream until I had given up in disgust..Then it swung and before I could get too grumpy I bade Capn Calm and Bono farewell and drove off.

I spent a long time on the water for one good bullet that lasted a minute or so. Not even the eternal optimist in me can chalk that one up as a Top Ten Fangy Day,it was just rubbish and a little unnecessarily cruel

 However I did go and see Sting and Paul Simon last night - that was brilliant and  itself is worth a few Top Ten Fangy Days :-)Laughing

Peel Inlet, WA, AU

 

Stopped by Fangys to see the cap'n and the fangman struggling so thought I'd give Lipton's a go for the first time today. The wind swung around a bit and died slowly but I got at least an hour of decent breeze. 

 

I think I'll be back for some more tea in the future.

I know Mike - I catch my self looking at the screen lifting my neck all the time trying to see up a bit more! :-P) I am getting a different mounting system that will allow a lot more flexibility in positioning and in future I will check it on my phone before I go out to get a better angle.Cool

Great Vids Fangy. I watched it in Gold Star Comfort here in tropical Cairns and am very jealous. During the intermission I got up to crank the A/C even colder...the heat and humidity here is unbelievable. What I need is a sail but no wind.Frown Good camera work....if we could get a chiropractor to adjust C1 and C2  up a little bit.....?
