Congrats on the PB Pepe, I've been watching the graphs all morning wondering if I should have skipped work... graphs looked hell gusty, 10 knots one minute, 25 the next.  Hope the boys stayed out, it's looking like it might come in spinner for the afternoon...

Yeah, cheers Nebs, would have done better, after a blistering run, looked down at the gps and I'd forgotten to turn it back on...

Well done Paul, sounds like you had fun

Bloody hell Steve, now wonder I couldn't get you on the phone, Well done

Enjoy our time at the top, at least until Claude and Steve post.

Reckon we're definately going to have to start taxing those guys

Thanks Elmo. I would have been funy watching Decrep and me. for the first 4 hours we were blasting then struggling back to shore, grabbing a drink and then it blew like anything and off we went again. fortunately we did not get stranded in the middle!

Well done to all that got out today. Sounds like mandurah had the best of it. Down my way it was not strong and it was up nad down too much. I tried NM's but could not get good wind long enough

WELL DONE EVETS!!  That is a sterling effort, it takes real determination to crank out that many k's in substandard conditions.  And well done on a 19 alpha also!  Congratulations 

Thanks Nebs, I had a great day. With my consistently (comparitively) low top speed I am really pleased I managed 150 in patchy conditions. As for the alpha, I might look at checking that tomorrow as it is close to the alpha for the guys who were going 3-6 knots faster so maybe i have a dodgy reading!

F2 Straps they just won't let go, got to wriggle free before the gybe, I learnt the hard way, many an Elmo gybe

Wow good to see so many on the water shame you let those SRM beat ya

It has been so long that I forgot what the water feels like

Good one boys, I can guess your joy

Well done guys. top effort by the distance crew.

Thought about coming down as I had the arvo off. Waited at Pt Walter but it never really happened.

Steve, looking at your tracks, still no where near broad enough, you need to be parallel to the shore, on you braodest speed runs, you are a long way off that angle and therefore not reaching the speeds you wish to achieve.  My fastest runs were all at an angle virtually parallel to the shore.

The conditions were not great throughout the day lao shi but it was great being on the water. I know this is not what you want to hear but: you should have tbeen there. Perhaps next time!

Congratulations on the distance pb Pepe, when you were there the conditions were so variable it was a struggle staying on the water: either so much you were likely to take off or so little walking was faster!

Cannot believe you had your GPS turned off for your fast run at the end. Bugger!

Well done on your distance Steve, thats a great effort to match Decrepits distance

Oi, and to the rest oy yous MM, the budget didnt say nuffink bout having chesdeys orf, niever. Get back to work

Hey Steve, forgive me for not knowing, but is this the first time 2 of your results have contributed to our monthly figures???

You must be well pleased with that!

You know what will happen now, you'll be looked on to take the day off and do the distance thing, if there's good wind mid week.

great effort on the distance Steve as well as Decrep's i knew you guys where going for it and it was an awesome effort in very average conditions to keep going in the lulls between the squalls.i think Claude and i where very lucky we had both rigged big gear as well the small stuff making it a lot easier to keep going,other wise it may have been a different story!

Yes Mike this is the first time 2 of my results have counted. Several times it has looked as though I was going to have this and then another person posted and relegated me to also ran! As you say Steve it was sometimes a struggle on the smaller gear, but it was just great to be on the water!
