Wayno (16997km):

Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU arrived at 11am and it was WNW about 8-12 knots so I rigged up my biggest gear HSM 8.0 GPS + JP 122L and 21cm Delta.

By the time I got out it was down to 5-10 knots but I still managed to get a few minor squirts every once in a while. Nice and warm as well.

Definately need a Delta at the moment - don't think a weedie would be suitable unless you stayed well out near the marker buoys. There are massive weed islands in close due to the prevailing wind direction, so I tried to stay further upwind to avoid them, not enough grunt to get through them today. Came in after just over an hour as it was dropping ike a lead baloon.

After missing the last windy day (yesterday) I was determined to have a sail today and I did......house renovations can wait.

Cheers Marauders.

Yep the weed is getting pretty thick and you have to get out further to get deep enough. Bring on some fronts! Priorities are right..Wink
