Wollumboula Lake, NSW, AU  14-22 kts wind over the course of the afternoon.Aaaah, great to get out after night shift, it makes it all worth while! The afternoon started pretty quietly, I rigged my Sailworks Retro 5.5, as the breeze was pretty good, hit the water and the wind dropped down by about 5kts :-((.

Still, I thought, I'm here with a whole car load of sails from a 4.2 Hucker up to a 7.4 X-T Racing, so I rigged a 6.5m Retro, same board and fin (JP Single Fin Thruster with a 22 cm weedie) and hit it hard...I'm trying to crack  1000km before the end of summer! (Yeah, I know you've all got thousands and thousands!!!) Obviously, once that sail was rigged the wind started to build again.....

So that was it, Keith came down and used both his CA and JP speed boards and we're only a few knots apart I think (and several thousand Km's).

Thanks for a great afternoon Keith, it's allways good to sail with you.

Wednesday could be on for anyone that's keen!

Remember Keef,where your head goes your body will follow.

So when chop hopping look at where your going to land and NOT at your sail

Your probably the best person to ask,as you have done it dozens of times - Whats best ,swimming all the way through the sail or just pulling your head back through the hole?

It can get pretty flat behind the reef at low tide Keef. Low tide is at 5pm on Wednesday Tricky.

Hey Ian, Welcome back! Yes, I think I'll sail locally on wednesday if it's on. I did look at Peggy's yesterday morning at about 10.30, but I thought the breeze was going to be better in the south.

I'm practicing for Lancelin next year............. :-))

 

And thanks Keith, I wasn't expecting the Alpha, I'm still trying to crack the Alpha 20 Club..Time on the water!

Well done on the PBs Tricky Dicky. Must have done a fair few laps of the lake to clock up 60km.

Hopefully the water level is rising to help reduce the risk of a sudden halt and dismount with the inevitable sail damage.

This is exciting, new product development! Just like wave sails going to 3 battens, Keith and Craig explore sub 18cm fin design Craig, no pressure or anything, westerlies a little way away, not too worried about colour although Keith's hair dye experiments have had good results last year, and attracted female jealousy from other NSW teams
