8-14kts SSW-SW Buff Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU- Level 0.4 / .39m

7.5m Turbo- RS4 ( 111ltres) - 21.5cms (cutdown 24cms FF)

 Sailed 1.40hrs

I had really low expectations..it would rain on me and I wouldn't get going like last time.  

Lovely! I really needed that..Undecided

There was enough to get going ( mostly) although I was out of the straps mostly. The board needs regripping so it was a bit dicey at times.

 The 21.5cm is a bit small I usually use the 24cm with that combo , but I used the windward rail to get upwind and it was mostly good for depth. I'd end up on the bottom after a gybe but generally managed to sail away.

 Some nice gybe practise. One really slick one..Cool a lot of pretty smooth ones.. Smile

 Got a decent gust and the 2sec on the run in.

Good workout too..

 Poor Pete was rigging up to go out when I came in. He hasn't been out for ages . He started to walk out and the old sail he'd just had repaired ripped open again..time for a newer sail I think.. 

 Just me ..happy...Laughing

 I thought about going to Valentine but it was a bit SW and I didn't fancy falling in and getting fully wet..I got too hot at Budgy and had to take my neoprene hood off. Smile Felt like Spring.

Coal Point, NSW, AU

JP175, SB 800.115,255, 8.0m

SW 6-14

It's been 2 months since my last foil, many times I have talked myself out of going out.

I nearly did the same today. It was cold and patchy. I waited until late in the day when it was a little warmer. Most of the wind had gone, but there was still just enough. Some sunshine, some rain. Good to get out
