KA72, Holloways Beach Cesspool, QLD, AU

Not enough wind for the dream machine so took out the big gear, water rough as guts but nice little sail, the first in a while Cool

Lake Tinaroo, QLD, AU      First session back on dam for about 5 weeks.     Pitifull wind at first and took a while to step on board.    Only rigged a 5.9m Loft 02 and for a while I thought I would not get a planing run, then some wind came out of nowhere and we both had a enjoyable session.    116l Screamer and SL7 37.

Lake Tinaroo, QLD, AU     Hans was already rigged and raring to go nwhen we arrived at dam.       Thought the wind might pick up so rigged my old 7.0m  NP Package Tape and used the new JP  78.      Just dogged about for a while then the wind kicked in and things were good.    The wind dropped, so we came in and then it started to rain for a while.    (This area is extremely dry, so we are not whinging).

Lake Cootharaba, QLD, AU

Great  day on the lake.......good lot of NE winds fairly constant and a good lot of pain going to starboard..... cruising going to port.

Next couple of days will see if I can still do one of those things they call an Alpha.

Jefro gave me an Izzy 6.5 to try, 129l screamer and a 39 fin.

Port Douglas, QLD, AU Port News..By 2 oclock most people in port were in a coma due to all the 'eclipse celebrations',That was a good enough excuse to down tools and go sailing..Hit the beach running at 3 oclock carrying a fully powered up Falcon with big wings on..The water was flat and wind was pumping at about 14,15kts..did a quick tune up lap,and went in to cruise mode for a very enjoyable afternoon session blasting to the horizon and back..A couple of intoxicated locals were out sailing a very fast 18ft cat, when i came blasting up behind  them they cranked it hard and tried to give me race ,all was good for a while, we   had big grins on our faces. Then shit hit the fan and it did the biggest cart wheel you would ever see..Bodies went flying and it all looked very untidey.I pulled up to asses the damage the main damage was 'bruised egoes.'.I tired my rig to it and helped them get it upright again which wasn't easy..They didn't want to play any more after that so they packed up there toy and went home ,I kept blasting till the sun went down..A nice ride for a wednesday arvo..101 Falcon 7.3m Stype north sail,biggest fin i could find 40cm s10..Cheers Ed..

Pelican Point, WA, AU

 

Lots of people out enjoying the sea breeze this arvo, really felt like summer; so much fun! Was great to use the 6.6, feels so light and small after the big gear. First time using it on a different mast I got a while ago, KA 55% bottom and 75% top. Had been using it on a very old powerex 30%. Sets so much better. Might have to save the pennies and get a KA mast for the 7.5 too, been using that with a Naish.

 

Koncept 6.6

iSonic 107, Vector Volt 38 - alpha

iSonic 86, Vector Volt 32 - 2 sec and naughtie

Firie, nice numbers and great photos.  we had about 90% coverage here which was still quite spevtacular but you guys had the deluxe seats.  it was a beautiful morning too.

Ed, when those cats cartwheel, they really put on a show.  hope you didnt laugh too loud Wink  great hour too considering your peak speeds.  80clicks as well.

Lips I was sleeping on the beach under the stars up the Cape in 91, got woken up by a massive fire ball shooting across the sky, then spent long time watching 1000's of shooting stars (meteorites), friggen awesome mate and will never forget Cool

Kel I'm looking a little native, we had a nice break Wink

Snags we were so lucky here, clouds just parted in time then covered up straight after, it was a lucky dip up here where you were, I honestly thought it was going to be waste of time but just wanted to experience it. If Cam sailed there goes my beans Laughing

Ed I cartwheeled a small cat once in strong wind, Chris will never go on one again, we ended up right so I just took off again, looked back and Chris was dragging behind in the water with her foot caught in the rigging, when I pulled up she was screaming lots of naughty words LaughingEmbarassed

Nice pics, Firie. Must have been an experience.

I lost the missus overboard on the first date! Shame she had told me she was a strong swimmer (not quite true!)

Nice Pbs, Hoppybob and Squiddy!
