Fun sail, on the day that should have been. Lots of guys out when I arrived, all but Sammy gone by the time I wallowed back to shore.

38cm board, 5.8 koncept 18cm 50deg starboard assy.
Another fantastic Fangy day, but this time a bit delayed, took a long time for the breeze to get from the ocean to Coodunup.
So a few sailors got impatient and left for greener pastures, but the wait was worth it, plenty of nice flat water and not bad wind.
Only small dissapointment for me was the GW52 getting my hopes up, I had a 37.45 max on the dial and a mid 35 10sec, so I expected at least a mid 36 2s. but ht 37 only happened for 0.2s the other 9 data points were mid to high 35s.
If I continue to only wear the GW52, I think I'll dispense with 10s and set the average figure to 2s

Safety Bay, WA, AU, CA52/Tushy5.8/23vector weedy
Intended to sail Fangys but no wind so high tailed to safety bay as I had limited time and it was already blowing strong there. Started in the pond which was very congested, so headed over to Penquin Is sandbar which was quite choppy on the bear away. Decided to give that away before I killed myself, so back to the pond and doing runs down the beaver with 25. Quite a challenge to get a clear run with all the traffic. Nice to finish the year with 40 on the dial
As per my want this year, plenty of wind till I turned up, sailed Liptons as I didn't want to get a spanking again at Novara, which allowed Hardz To have perfect conditions to nail yet another Alpha PB, well done Bud
Although the winds were fading quite bad it was a lot of fun actually sailing with someone for a change, twas great sailing with Snides Cheryl and Yoyo who were all being nice to me by not totally destroying my speeds just beating them by a reasonable amount.
Oh well only one more day to go in "2015 the year of disapointment" then the fun shal beging with "2016 the year of redemption"
Went out at Fangy's late with new boom and a new Elmo'd little weed fin so having some new gear usually puts a mojo on the end result but still had fun although never felt truly powered up. Impaler junior manged to put his head through his (my) sail but a kindly old dude (anyone over 25 in his language!) helped him tape it up - thanks mate!
