A quick onshore session at Bono with Bono Simon and Ian. A had couple runs out the back, but decided to get the GPS and stay inshore trying the Quad over the shallow onshore water. Was a bit gusty, but was fun. Saving my points for long day tomorrow.

First day in the bay at Ricketts South with JMan, Evan and the Alex the Russian since sailing a lot of flat water lately. Was light first so decided rigging the big gear and just about to hit the water when Jerry came back in, way overpowered with a 6.2. Back and rigged a 5.7 instead and took the smaller board. Had a couple of good runs before the waves came in and it turned gusty, so was a bit of a struggle then, but still good fun. Also took the Banana out for a few runs, first time in waves, even got airborne, but need to work on the balance at landing, hit the water nose first followed by a spectacular stack.

Looking forward to SW in Gippsland tomorrow.

Spent a fair bit of time changing sails and boards this arvo, started on the 6.2 on the Super Sport, only had about 4 runs and then the wind kicked in big time, managed to convince Jak that a 7.5 was a touch to big for 25 Knots plus!

Ended up on the wave board with a 5.0 then I even went down to the 4.5.  Took me a fair while to get the setup working today with the small gear lots of adjustments until I felt comfortable, put the boom a bit lower shortend the harness lines moved the mast back in the track and bingo all good, need to remember that for winter sailing.

To many changes to list

Sandy Point, Gusty NW wind, new GT-31.

Sailed my Exocet 118litre with 5.3 Naish force and 36cm fin.
