Nice day today. Great to see Karl and Carol out and briefly say hello. I got a bit into my sailing and did not see you go. Thanks for putting my other board on my racks.. will get the strap to you next time.

I was out on my JP FSW with Select 32cm fin, Hellcat 6.2. It was fun for the first hour, and then it died big time. I struggled back with board a foot under the water for most of it. I was going to pack up but had a bit more time up my sleave so hung around, and after about half an hour it kicked in again... but still gusty. I am a bit surprised I went as quick as I did... just got one lucky gust at the right place. The conditions were not ideal as it was pretty gusty. I actually sailed further than posted, as I accidentally turned off the GPS towards the end of the session. I may have improved the 5X10 also... but does not matter.

I hope others got out and had some fun!!

Cheers,

Adrian

Kyeemagh with a with a NE seabreeze Smile of somewhere around 20 knots. Loft 02 6.6m, Tabou Rocket 140 and Select 35cm fin.

 

Wonderful day to be on the water. Beautiful wind till the clouds came over mid afternoon. I had to get going then anyway and also cramped a muscle in my leg when kicking out to waterstart.

Congratulations on the PBs Adrian. You were going for it and it takes a fair bit of skill to be using the small board in the gusty winds after the clouds moved across.

GPS seemed to work fine except for some crazy straight line going from Kyeemagh to home. It doesn't seem to affect the results though. 

 

Parked at the new car park which is pretty good. Plenty of space to spread out and tons of car parks. I'll be coming down to Kyeemagh a bit more often because of this car park.

 

 

This day puts on the demerits on the leaderboard LOL!

Thanks Keef,

It was OK out on Botany... Up and down alot and gusty... Have sailed much better, but it was a fun day anyway. I think I just got lucky with a few good gusts at the right time to get those PBs... and I have changed my setup a little, and seem to have some more top end... Goal at the moment is 35 knots... maybe one day. :)

It was good in Sydney yesterday also. I was out racing a yacht on the Harbour and it was 20-25... hopeful for tomorrow, but we will see. I know Karl was out today, so hopefully his GPS was working and we can a session in.

Cheers,

Adrian

Thanks everyone.

Not sure how the alpha PB happened. Must have been a lucky gust that pushed me through the gybe.

Yes my back is better than ever but I have to take it pretty easy and not over do it.

 

I'm a bit dark about my GPS failing on Sunday. Though I didn't do much sailing I made one big broad reach parallel all the way down the runway on a JP X-Cite Ride 122 and a 6.1m NP sail. It felt quite fast all the way down and for much of the time the sail was almost weightless. It would have been a good NM for me and probably a nautical mile PB. Its a pretty amazing run, especially when there are jets taxiing around and you smell the burnt kero.

Knowing my luck it will be the last good NE wind I experience there for a long time.
