Everything was going real good until I whacked into a hidden post just below the surface and put two great big holes in the bottom of my board. Lucky I was gybing at the time and not going flat out.

Wind came up late afternoon +15knts and was great until the prang.

6.8 Loft Switchblade, 340 Drake and ISonic94

Lake George, SA, AU

Quick day trip to sail Lake George with Sam, Carl + Jimbob.

iSonic 107, Severne NCXpro 6.5m, C3 Sting 38 - shweet combo.

Also used, 4.7 Gator + 5.7 Gator on Futura 101. 

Nice and flat in the middle of the lake, but the forecast 20-30 SW did not happen. Maybe 20-22 in the gusts.

Long day - left at 4.30am, there by 9am, wind came in a 12pm, sailed till 6pm, packed up by 7.30pm, get take-away in beachport and on the road by 8.30pm, then discover can't get diesel in Beachport, Robe or Kingston (they're all closed ...argh), not enough left in tank to get to Tailem Bend, so back track to Bordertown to fill up, then eventually home by 2.30am after a couple of power naps. 900km for the day.

Bit knackered today, but would do it again tomorrow!

Lake George, SA, AU  from the spit, shitty SW 10 to 20,

F2 Stoke 117, , 5.8 KA Koncept,  30 select then 36 JP weedie

 had Carl, Sam and Chris D to sail with. was a pretty average sail after some good days lately.

Had to work so didn't get out on the water until nearly 4.30 and missed the best of it,  at least I have a job for another couple months then I might be full time sailing,

 was way under done on the 5.8 but got one gust as a dark cloud came by. was flat out but the water is starting to go down now. was quite surprised the other guys sailed ok without weedie fins,

looks like this cylone crap affecting our seabreezes is finished and islooking good for tueday and wednesday arvo,

 next weekend looks like it is going to be cranking next weekend but  I have my nephews wedding and arvo shift as well.

Great weekend at lake george with Sam.  Also great to catch up with Chris D and Jimbob on Saturday.  Forecast 20 - 30 knots and it was mainly 13 - 18 with a couple of 20 knots gusts.  Managed to get onto one of them.

Ended up rigging 3 rigs - 5.1, 5.8 and 6.6.  Also tried the newly acquired 70 litre slalom jp - nice board.
The water was flat due to the weed beds.  Nice to gybe and sail in flat water for a change. 

The forecast for Sunday was 20 - 25 knots and the perfect direction - se to run the flat water but the wind wasn't strong enough:-(  Still great weekend.
