Good forecast, looked good, rigged 5.9 & RS1, 23 weedy, Was a bit up & down for a while, then came in quite strong, maybe 18-20 knots, Heaps of guys out, the ex teacher Wayno, Tibor, Byron, Matt D, Johnnie, Mick K, Mick S, Paul B, Paul D, Pugs, Pete, Johnno, & others.
Thanks for the rigging tips Byron, I love that RS1, it is so nice, gybes so well.
Hopefully someone has found my TR7 Maui sail that I left behind, Tibor will pay a big reward for it but please give it to me before you ask him for the money.

3219 days ago Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU 6.6 maui TR11, mark pederson reshaped, home made 19 delta.
Never happened WAY underdone all day went out and had to wait in the water for 45 min unitl it was windy enough to even sail. dissapointed.
I think I will sail the sand islands only come here if belistic way more wind than here. no point having flat water if you dont have wind.
Still unreal to see so many out havnt seen that many sail together in a long time and it was nice falt water just hard work with no wind.
Great to have Bruce beat me in top speed looked good on the Exocet RS1 and Maui mate.

First try of the weed fin. Worked OK. little bit of spinout if you werent careful, but no clumps of weed to get rid so nice.
Still fitness level 0, but a nice sail with reasonable speed for me.

Exocet RS6, TR8 7.6, Vmax 51 - Wind ENE 12 knots
Sweltered all day while the westerly blew and kept the nor-easter offshore. Seabreeze finally fought back and made it to Coal Point about 2:30pm. Very strange to see whitecaps from a westerly in Toronto Bay, but then see it fade as I drove out towards Coalie, where there were whitecaps from the noreaster!
Never really powered up. Ran out of time, but it was great to cool off by being on the water.
