Melville Beach.  Unexpected bonus sail and probably the last of the sunny warm weather.   Headed down to find Windxtasy already rigged, and Flatchat already out on his wingdinger. Quickly rigged and headed out...in my haste forgot my sunnies.   Wind was nice but decided to stop after one lap to get the sunnies...this was probably a mistake as best wind seemed to be on first lap.    Was hit and miss wind and eventually was more miss than hit so called it.  Windxtasy seemed to be having a bad day, spending most of the time in the water.   After I stopped she had appeared to be drifiting for the last 1/2 hr or so so and from a distance Tim and I thought she might have hurt an arm so paddled out to check.   She was happy, just chill'n in the sun and couldn't be bothered uphauling in no wind so I left her to it.  Usual big gear....one day I will use a different sized sail and have no clue how to use it...

An unexpected seabreeze. Not quite enough, but it was the last warmish sunny day, possibly until Spring, so I gave it a go.

There was enough wind for Flex' 8.6 but not enough for my 7m sail. I fell in on most of the turns today, with no power in the sail. Water was too deep in most places to beach start and not enough wind for a water start. Uphauled a couple of times then decided not to risk a disc by doing it again, and opted for a slow float to shore, which alarmed some of the onlookers who feared I was injured or something. Sorry guys. Thanks for coming out to check on me, Flex.

Surprised to get 18 kn. I was on the verge of planing quite a lot, but couldn't quite get there.
