WazzaYotty (2200km): Marine Parade, Southport, QLD, AU F2 Vento, Ezzy Lion 6.5, Got there too late as I was searching for a park within a bulls roar and the wind was falling out as I rigged. Bugger! Annnnnyway, thought I'd have an exploratory plod across the Broadwater. Got on the plane once and once only. Swimming seagulls were overtaking me. Got out and back twice, slowly, without getting wet despite the lumpiness. Good to meet MacroScien, George and Emma. Water was a good temperature and absolutely crab free. Tomorrow I'll be there early. | ||||||||||||||||||

6.2 Koncept, Sonic 56W, Delta 19cm & then Loft Sails Switchblade 6.8m
Firstly many thanks to Steve who though his sacrifice of having to do his work shutdown this weekend practically guaranteed we would get wind sometime this weekend. To pay you back I think I have one day next month where I won't be working at the weekend so it should howl for most of Novembers weekends
It was fantastic to see Shane back on the water so I had someone to enjoy the afternoon with. Still faster than me after 3 months off
Had in the back of my mind that if I clocked up a few kms we might get up the ladder a bit & maybe grab Shane a welcome back Jellybean. Managed to do about 70kms before Shane said he might call it a day, I foolishly mentioned that I might try for the Ton. Of course 5mins later Huey promptly buggered off & left us with sweet fa wind wise
Went back to de-rig & noticed the wind had filled back in a bit so being the glutton for punishment I am I rigged the 6.8m & went out for another go. Was actually pretty good, on the plane all the time & only stopped when I whacked something & went over the handlebars. Oh & the sun was getting low so all the creepy crawlies of the harbour would be stiring soon & I didn't fancy a Cobbler sting for my efforts.
Tide was very low, the lowest I've sailed on. I notice the DoT site said the tide was coming in but it was even lower after I finished about 6ish than when Shane stopped.
Really enjoyable afternoon
