fangy (22667km):
2379 days ago Hmm - not use what happened there. I was halfway through downloading my GW-52 and the Locosys Utility popped up with the dialog box that download had failed. Me and Windoze are never the best of friends. Unfortunately, I had the Auto clear option ticked, so the utility has dutifully gone ahead and cleared the session. Live and learn, untick the Auto clear Fangy! I guess the auto clear simply allows that part of memory to be rewritten, so the data is still there - anyone got any clues how to access the data or a Windoze cmd line I can use?
No big deal if not do-able, as all you really need to know was that I was way faster, turned harder and lasted longer that 'Ken.
Summary of the days events: The wind was a tad light and chilly. Ian, Joe, 'Ken and I sampled the weedy goodness out from The Hook. The storm had formed up some really dense bergs. Judging by the amount of 'whites of his eyes' visible, Ian had some sphincter moments, Joe logged some frequent-flyer miles around the handlebars and even I had to be a little more circumspect about berg bashing. I initially had given the bergs no respect, and had been bashing as per usual, then after lining up a particularly heavily matted one and getting a more than decent tug on the fin, I too started to be a little more wary.
I had the Barge, Koncept 8.5 and the FangyFin24. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get far enough uphill to join 'Ken who had worked his way right up to the outside bank weedy world. Partly due to not enough power in the 24 at lower speeds to push against the 8.5, and mostly due to my lack of commitment to keep going uphill when a gust came along - I am hopelessly addicted to a bear-away like junkie. The fact that water was pretty nice with some good flat spots sealed the deal and consigned any uphill commitment to the same spot in memory where I store the Captain's team instructions.
Having said that, when 'Ken was telling about his 'shooooooooosh' moments in the smooth, I was a bit annoyed at myself, but hey I was pretty sure I already had several 40 knot runs and at least half a dozen 25 alphas. What a pity I could not get the data off my unit.
