JP Supersport 127L, NPRSS MkII 7.2, Chooko Weed 40cm.

Wind was spupposed to be in early then fading, true to this time of year got up this morning to bugger all breeze, headed out in desperation after 10 and found that there appeared to be enough get up and went there, as I was rigging it kept building.

Tacked up the channel, headed down the the run aiming for the green channel marker as the snot is getting to that scarey stage got a nice run sailed back half way and promptly ran out of puff, bugger it's going to be one of those days.

The wind was up and down all day like a teenagers hand who has just discovered the joys of masterbation. Fortunately it was more up than down giving some nice runs.

Came in with Decrep when he needed refueling went back out again a bit later, unfoirtunately I dinged up my fin on way up the channel which stopped it from shedding the snot and ended up making the fin cavitate quite a bit. also agravated my broken crutch when I Elmo'd a gybe, eventually the cold made me go looking for my handbag and called it quits.

Great way to finish of my holidays by sailing with Decrep

F2 SX XL, RSS MKII 7.8m, 40choco weedy

Lechenault Inlet 10-18knts very on/off SSW

Tide was very low so had to walk 300m's to get out to sail. Having no shallows to sail in meant i had to bang n' Bash out on the chop.

Nothing special other than trying the new(2nd hand) 7.8m out. It gots heaps of bottom end and its quite relaxing compared to my RSR8.4m. The RSS 7.8m feels like a elastic band in a gust as the power slowly comes on unlike the RSR where the exceleration is just blistering instant.

I wanted the sail more but i ran out of water. Came in and the wind filled in to 18-20knts so i went and had a great solo wave sail at Roosters.

Isonic 105, 6.7RSSII JP 36 weedy.

Will post better 2 second if I can get help on with what appears to be a spike!

spent most of the day with my family, hit the water at 3 and sailed 3 hours straight. Wind up and down making gybing tricky, had a ball but was blown away by a visitor on a CA /NP combo.... who are you Mr fast sailor Decrepit was out still when I launched and s often the case was quicker than me.  I really never got comfortable on the Iso all afternoon. I realise now that my front foot tends to come out of the front strap as I have the straps at too shallow an angle as I widen them to accomodate my large feet. Must correct that to make sailing more pleasant.  I found I was most comfortable when the boom was really low. I think I have many problems including stance

Mostly great fun, intended having a short play as shoulder has been a problem but it did not give a hint of pain so I kept sailing. Had to stop eventually with fore arm cramp: will be glad to be out of winter suits

Rigged sail on Elmo's X6, thanks Elmo, I must get the correct plug for the top of my mast.

Fun sail with Elmo, Evets, Corey, and forgive this aging brain with a memory like a sieve, a few other guys who's names escape me at the moment.

Unfortunately a cobbler got one of them, so looks like they're coming back with spring.

Used the thommen with 6.0 lightning and the modified herby fin.

Looks like my gybes are slowly improving on this gear, interesting to see how evets goes, he was still flying around when I left, some of his gybes looked nice.
