Melville Beach, WA, AU The usual x15 7m 111 isonic 38 Patchy breeze good to see everyone out having fun.Ill do some work tomorrow.

Futura 111, Lightning 7.0 (should of used the 7.8) and a 32 weedie - Was underpowered most of the day and was getting cold! Went back in to whinge about the wind, the cold and weighed up rigging the 7.8, but the wind was dropping fast and it was begining to look like the 7.8 would be too smallas well!! Almost gave up when the wind picked up again, bugger rigging the 7.8, but I did put the wettie on.... It was cold!!! 

Was out in Scotty land and came across a HUGE stingray, well over a metre wide! I had just jumped back on and before I got going he swam from underneath the board. It was only knee deep, so surprised (but thankful!) that I didn't hit him!

CR6.7, Xfire102, Rocket32. Melville. Reverted to rigging the 6.7 on a Powerex mast and used a "normal" fin instead of a weedy. Instantly 2 knots faster!

zoom zoom in a allmost  sea breeze  with Matt 

6.5M T4 & 109lt Naish Titan with 34 Choco then 94Lt Exocet with 36 Choco (not my fin choice)

When I got out of the water today I said "I don't care what the GPS says, I had a great sail"

How nice to be out in the sun on a weekday afternoon, hopefully there is more tomorrow.

Anyone who is waiting for Nelson to post should give it up, he has been pushing out ZZZZeds in the recliner for about the last hour

Exocet Cross 104L, Cross 84L Naish Titan 109L with 7.5M Tushie T-bird & various fins.

Tried every board in the car as the gear felt slow & sluggish, a;most got a ride on the Exocet Cross 94L but it got confiscated at the last minute

Eventually put some extra downhaul on & that made a huge difference to the feel of the sail but still no speed

Good to get out although totally buggered at the moment, need a rest day from reno's
