Sneaky little late arvo sail today... Conference call with Freddo while I was still at work just after 1pm- consensus was not enough wind around to bother... Got home just before 2pm and had another quick look at the readings- wind had picked up enough to motivate me to gather the gear. Called Freddo, who must have moved on to other things, so left a message then made my way to the beach to check things out.
The wind gods were kind enough today- must have felt sorry for me missing out on yesterday's GI trip... On the water a bit before 3pm. Just enough wind around to be planing most of the session on the Exocet 135 Severne 8.6 OD & 47.5 fin. 12-15kn E~ESE winds I reckon. Really enjoyable sailing on a neapish tide with not to much swell. Only hiccup today was the top 2 cams popped off the mast later on in the session. Other than that, good fun had by myself & a couple of tea baggers...
Hopefully get another session in tomorrow arvo!
