Glory Holes, Australind, WA, AU

Nice little session with Stretch and Waricle, bit on and off with the wind but a pleasant day. Tide was just about right when I left at 3:30 in the arvo but you had to wait for the gusts.

Coodanup, WA, AU. Got a late start but tried my luck at Coods as WSW means pond.    Arrived around 3pm to 7knots wind.Contemplated rigging 8.6 and doing a desparation sail but suddenly wind picked up, had white caps so rigged 7.8 which was better as I'd mounted the DIY gps units on that boom..  Was overcooked and pretty choppy so headed into the pond.  Tide was lowest ever and a thick exposed weed bank (first time I've seen that) was exposed on the speed run, tried the Fangy fin strasight through it (first time in actual thick weed) and didn't notice anything.   Was really enjoyable sail, and perfect conditions to go for distance but time was up.  Water depth was 'just' enough for the 22 fin. Couple of photos from experimental reverse unicorn mount of the 360, the unicorn mount hit the sail too much.    Managed first time to sail out the small channel as could see it.   7.8 Severne Overdrive M2, 120 Tabou Rocket, FF22

Quick blast in the bay on the 7.0 NX.99 Falcon,29 ws...Fun blasting along the swell lines

Foilville. Late arvo sesh in a gusty Westerly.

It was light when I arrived, so I rigged the 10.0. + race foil + FTY.

First hour this setup was on the money, then it booted in from 10-15K to 15-20K and I was a long way upwind.

Really fun bombing downwind with the 10 fully sheeted out, and me trying to keep her on the deck.  Got the peak speed off Peli Point, right before I breached and had a big stack.

Pretty happy with these speeds with the big rig, I shoulda been on the 7.8 at the end there.
