CR 8.1; RRD X-F 122; Drake 48 @melville.beach.wa.au

Desperation sail to cool off...should have hit the water 20 min earlier when there were a few puffs!

However, great to have the first sail for the year!

JP SLW 90, NP H2 8.7, JP 52 pointer.

A quick blat(grovel) after kid sitting all afternoon in 5-7 knots of wind 5:30-p-6:15pm.

Watched a bull shark cruise under the board, polarized sunnies are good for that, gave the freckle a squeeze.

Started my New Years resolution to sail more with day 1  already ticked off.

Watched a couple of the team float in

OD5.4, Sonic85, F128. Coal Mine Beach, Walpole. Great sail. Overpowered in the middle of the inlet and choppy as (worse than the Swan on a bad day!). Sailed the shallows over the far side to escape the worst of the chop and to find more manageable wind. The shallows were not that flat, and the water was so clear that it made the chop hard to see - very similar to Cocos, but Cocos is of course warmer........ Was hoping for a better Nm - the place certainly has more potential than I was able to extract. My best Nm for the day was actuallu on my longest run to the south through the chop.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Isonic 122/ Technic 56, Code Red 8.1 @ Melville.

Ok Ok, I get it Nilss, I should have sailed yesterday......

I think I "jagged" the only bit of wind today- rigged just at the right time.  In dead flat water I took a couple of long trips to the end of Pt Walter 'n back. Unfortunately, the wind died on the last leg- long wobble back.
