A quick after work sail. Took me an hour and a half to get to Botany

When I got there it was blowing its tits off. Some easy over 30 knot gusts. Had a fair bit of north in it so i knew the runway was going to be lumpy. And damn was it ever. No real flat water to speak of so I just made the most of what there was until the storm front moved in and killed the wind. Only got less than a half hours sailing time in. Tried 3kg's of lead in my jacket for the first time today. It was certainly noticeable in the physical sense but I'm not sure it made sailing any more controlable in the gusts. Need to spend more time with it on to tell.

Used my Drops SX slalom and Koncept 5.0 with a goldwing 29cm fin.

The NE was angry today my friends.

JP Slalom Pro VI 59  Neil Pryde RS6 5.4  Tectonics Goldwing 32.

Botany Exocet Warp SL 82L 5m KA Koncept and Venom 2. Very lumpy thumping NE 25 gusting through to 30+ knots at times lots of fun with some hairy moments, lots of tail walking.

Late session after work, I couldn't make it out to the bay so i had to settle on Rodd Point. The wind had pretty much died that far up the harbour, probably the storm cells. Still wanted to get wet though. Only the occassional 12knts gust maybe a 15knt gust  (probably not though) nothing inbetween. After half an hour I was wet enough and packed it in.
