Hawley, WNW wind 10-45 knots.  First run on iSonic 86 and 5.6 was 38.99 (D), so swapped to the iSonic 50.  Wind was up and down and swinging around a bit.  All up an excellent day though.  I saw Perks crash; he went past at what looked like about 40 knots as I was walking back up the run and then all of a sudden it was like he had hit the bottom and just got swung around the front (looked nasty).  Glad there were no broken bones!! 

The run was a little too tight most of the time, but pretty good never-the-less.  Swapped back to the iSonic 86 to do some alphas later in the day. 

Well done on your 40.5 knots perks, that's great.  And well done Ray on your PB (but not so well done on the boom - both arms gone!!).

The forked lightning occured as I was going down the run, directly in my line of site, probably about 1km away, but felt like 100m - the thunder clap was real loud!!

2 second trackpoint was 40.21 and display 40.25 (GT31)

Great effort guys I turned up at 11.25 and at 11.30 it was up to 45 kts I tried to get some video on my phone just after Perks crash but the the heavy rain came and I missed (with the camera)Dave crashing and rig doing cartwheels downwind across the river.That looked fairly speccy.  Temp down to 12.C rain p----ing down 45kts not very inviting, gutsy performance I reckon.

See you all at Stanley this weekend

Hi Firiebob, Cam sailed at Stanley in the morning as he was heading off to Marrawah in the afternoon.  Sounds like he had a good sail (minus GPS).  We'll be catching up with him this weekend when we meet for the final round of our state racing championships (Formula/Slalom).
