Interesting Melville session, got down just to realise the GPS had no charge, don't know if this happens to anyone else but when my GPS is charging from the computer and the PC goes to sleep it seems to drain the battery on the GPS, last time I leave it charging on the PC. Got down around 8ish and slowy was already charging on the water, stopped to have a chat and yep it was honking, quickly rigged the 5.5 but alas no GPS still on charge from the cig lighter bugger and it was for the first hour probably the best conditions out there, water was choppy but managable slowy first time ever I've seen him catapulted after catching a rail, winded but all good as the trooper he his changed the mangled harness and back out for more runs, his results speak for themselves as to how good he is in the chop and slop of Melveille hats off to the man.
Manat 59 performed like a trooper bit flightly in some cases but I rekon thats only to do with the sailer not having enough weight to hold the board down cross chop, very predictable in how it handles some scary moments though not seeing some of the bullets coming through and nearly getting lifted on a couple of the runs, problem was couldn't bear away further on the gusts as would have ended sky high going cross the chop, such a fun morning on the edge for the first hour but the wind did decrease with occasional bullets by the time I left. Hats off to anyone sailing Melville today wasn't the easiest of mornings and you had to have some big B to contempalte the bearaways in the conditions.

Good to get a session in early in the month. Felt like a beginner again for the first couple of runs. Not a lot of flat water and the odd gust would try to pull you over the handle bars when bearing away so hats off to Boz and Slowy for going so fast in those conditions.
Good to see Boz, Tim, Jase, Ken and apparently Neil and JJ were also out.

Windtech (5307km):
2152 days ago 1 categories Melville Beach, WA, AU I arrived a bit late. Looked windy NNE, rigged up a 6.3 but was underpowered the entire sail. Gusty mostly foating around but surprised myself with a better speed than I expected. Then up at Peli the watch ran out of battery power....still enjoyed it.

Missed the best of the wind but looks like Slowboat, Boz and Flatchat got the best of it in morning. Good Pinna turnout despite the cold and rain.

Arrived around 9.30am and conditions looked pretty good. Boz and Slowie were coming in! On the water by 10.15am and totally stuffed within an hour. With an embarrassing low reading on the odometer I continued to sail but fortunately the wind had started to ease off. The first hour was powered up in some crazy chop and the remainder of the session was underwhelming. I'm not convived that this setup was the best for today's conditions but still always a win to get on the water. My 2s speed was done on the first few runs, before I worked out how scary bearing off was in those conditions. Good to see so many Pinnas going for it.

Saw Lunny at Boombas who had come in for the chop. Drove to Australind to see some guys in patchy conditions then headed for Coondanp to try and catch the change in direction early afternoon. Rigged for stronger wind but got only a breeze with a few gusts. Tried the Manta 88 and NPV8 6.2 and struggled mostly then had a few fun runs on the JP Slalom 113. Good to get out for a sail at least and have a short session with Lunny

Started out at Boombas. There was plenty of wind but a fair amount of unpredictable chop which i figured isnt wise to play with in such a remote spot. Decided to head back in before Woody arrived so he didnt rig up unnecessarily.
We figured Australind was woth a look but it wasnt too flash looking either.
Back to Coodanup with Woody for a blat around. Was very patchy but alright to get out.
