iS110, 7.8 RBlade, 44 F-Hot - Lammermoor Beach, QLD, AU ESE 11-16kn

Slogfest  to start with and almost called it quits but got planing a couple times then the wind came in slightly.  Ended up being a nice little sail at the end.

Clifton Beach, QLD, AU Quick sail off the beach after lunch .Couldnt get motivated enough to get to Green Island  today ...Undecided

Wind was 15-20 SSE when I left home & looked to be building ....but it progressively died & left me with a long walk back from Palm Cove.

Spent most of the session on Double Island -there were some nice flat patches but just not enough wind to get flying off the fin ...

Lots of turtles with some very close calls today ...

Overall a good work out & a nice walk to finish the session Sealed

Holloways Beach, QLD, AU

Short little fun session at the mud pit!  Wind looked promising on arrival...  Had a nice long chat with a retired sailor from Victoria whilst rigging up- think he was pretty impressed with the gear used thesedays compared to what he described as a 200lt Mistral PP board he used to sail many moons ago.

I was then honoured to be in the presence of "King Bill of Holloways" who dropped by for a quick gas bag before I got out on the water...  The King wasn't able to sail today due to family commitments, so instead I think he chose to try and take a few awkward candid pics in the limited time he had whilst visiting.

Wind deteriorated quickly throughout the sesh- although happily smiling like a Cheshire cat when I was able to snag my best U-turn thus far in the chopped up ocean on my first run...  The feeling of not getting wet was soooooo good!!! Smile

Freddo & Gaz arrived shortly after I got out on the water- they both started rigging up but decided to give it a miss when the drizzle arrived and the wind dropped out to absolute zero!  So instead, we just ended up having a good ol' gas bag when I got back in.  In all honesty, I don't think I was even out on the water for an hour- more gas bagging than sailing today, but all good fun with half decent company!

Nelly Bay, QLD, AU..nice day- again still super light inside but nice with good waves out the back

Mackay, QLD, AU

Good little blast with Phil and Gordon. Badly underpowered to start with a 6.5 and FSW so chucked on the big carbonart in an attempt to get going. Worked hard to pump onto the plane and stay there for the first half. Wind increased for the second half and eventually turned out a nice powered up session.

Nice one Guys.good PB Benny looks like you will be ready for Nationals next year 👍. Hey Cam sore you come ashore when packing up at market. Your wife was there and was a bit worried about you. I told her were down the beach. She said she was gunna go pick you up. Not sure what happened there. Thought she would of found you before you started your walk home. 🤔 Saw Billy today he said he couldn’t go sailing.Because he had to get his hair done and his legs waxed before his mum came over. 🤣🤣

Solid effort compared to Kel and I who went to Yorkey's and swam back in after getting out the back in the last gasp of wind Yell
