5-16kts patchy in am then  few runs 13-20kts S pm Buff Point Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU

 6.2m OD M2 - CA95ltre - 20cma Atomic

 then RS4 ( 112ltres) - 21.5cms FF  ( cutdown 24)

After the last sail where I went through my sail I stayed out of the flatwater and practised gybes. Winter wettie again.

It was a bit patchy but I wasn't game to rig big as the forecast was saying 25-30kt. Put the big board on for the lulls but as soon as I hit the water a big gust came in so I turned around and got the 95ltre.

 Solo session. Got 2 gybes I was happy with and nice to practise a few..

Rain came through and killed it. I stood around for ages and finally got enough to beachstart and wobble in. I thought it was over as it turned  SSE and died to stuff all. I was plannig to swim the channel to Brandon but it kicked in again for a run back.

 2nd session I put the big board on and had fun but I should have had the big one on in the am and little in pm. Got the alpha and 2 sec on the big board. Only did one bearaway and got it in 15cms rollers followed by a 50m spinout. I thought I was going to lose it but survived.

 Mike , Mick , JD and ? were going well but I was getting cold and needed smaller gear.

 Can't get my watch to sync with my phone..Yell I'll repost with the garmin if I can get it to work.
