Summer's back! Top afternoon of sailing.

The main aim was to get a decent hour - I was hoping to get over 20kts, but a crash half way through put paid to that unfortunately. It was a nasty one actually - my front foot came out of the strap in a gust and I went head first into the sail. My back's a bit sore as a result - hopefully it will be ok for tomorrow's NE'r...

The trip over to Kurnell was fun. I thought it would help the hour not to be gybing all the time, but once beyond the runway, the chop limited my speed and I probably would have done better to stay in the sheltered water. 

4 PBs though - woohoo!

Tabou Rocket 140, Loft 02 7.4m, Select 36 cm fin.

Not a good sail at the lake. Missed the best of the wind, got on the water at about 5.15pm. It was quite gusty and not that strong. At least I could go to Ben Severne's information evening.

Cheers Michael - good to meet you & yeah, even if it's sore it's probably good to exercise it, right..?!

Looks like it was a great sail. Hope it was fun besides the crash and soreness. Take it easy with the PBs. Otherwise they won't come too often. I went for a sail at Narrabeen Lake. I think I missed the best of the wind. It was very gusty and i could not really get going. I'll post later. However sailing there allowed us to go to Ben Severne's talk tonight which was good.

Good one guys.... I was one of the unfortunate landing in a Qantas 737 around 6:30 to watch you guys having a ball. And I can't do today either. Oh well... have a good one anyway!!
