Tricky Bogan (21417km):
1054 days ago 2 categories Well it has been so long at least I now know I can still Sail I should have known better with the off shore & high tide but desperate times. Rigged the Loft RB7 CA SL 101 FF22. The forcast was for 23knts South but it was up n down and swinging South to West at 7-23knts so went with the big gear. Turned out the right choice as I had some nice quick n short runs over the spit. The tide was SUPER high meant to be .6 low but it seemed more like 1.4 + Shudda used the 32 Lessacher Weedie as there was oodles of water Was quite lumpy with the high tide and was underfinned making holding my ground hard. The wind seemed to be fading and solo sailing in the off shore wind I did'nt want the tide to get to high so I could walk if needed. I headded back in & only just made it after quite a battle up wind. Finnished up with more 7knts & short wipping gusts to 20knts
At least I got some Vitamin Sea
