Did you sail at Lysterfield? What happened to your gybing KGB??

I hope I can nick off from work earlier tomorrow for a sail in the arvo, I've got the gear in the car. Let me know if and where you go.

whats up for tomorrow ?

Jerry you still go to inverloch and waratah bay , wind forcast changed to  15 to 25 knots with afternoon sea breezes!

Hmm, just noticed that I clocked 5000kms since 18th January 2010

Hey Jak i think your due for a 5000 kms service!

KGB, Skipper and I with another dozen sailors at Bonno, including a few WV committee members. It must of been over 20knots as Ginger Pom sailed with us. Cross shore conditions. Sep and myself sailed about 4hours nearly nonstop.

If you’re worried about KGB's gybing the long runs we all were sailing he could have sailed to Portarlington, cleaned his fin and turn around again.

Good Breakwater to Beacon training.

Intereresting that my 2 best alpha's were on the outside yesterday gybing with the swell.

Who cares about the G-Lord Alphas, Fun factor is the main thing!!!

Probably Adam was going well because the south easterly had kicked in. (it came in late today)

So whats the problem kgb you think im not having fun? Thats what the team challenge is all about having fun and talking about the days sailing with like minded people. You could learn to gybe too!

Sorry about being a bit negative towards the gps team stuff. My issues with my sailing have been frustrating the h%ll out of me lately and showed in my above post about using the gps. In all honesty, I really enjoy it especially when on my freerace gear. Like Steve said, the Bonno crew are a great bunch and it's always a challenge and a lot of fun sailing with them as the conditions and locations are always different. Being fairly new to the group I'm glad I was given clearance to join

Well done on the pb Seb!

Coming from dingy and yacht racing speed and being competitive is in my blood . The gps gives a indication how much i have to catch up . learning from the pros get all the good hints and smart coments ( little finger ) is all part of it . Being out with the bonno crew and chasing each other playing with the choop , trying to gybe to get a better alpha, is great!

learning windsurfing is a lot more fun in a group of great friends, like the bonno blasters .

see you next time at bonno, hopefully in 25 knots  southwesterly! :)  It's extreme fun and pleasure!

Well said Urs Im glad to hear that you get benefit out of being part of the team.

On the bay, I enjoy the gps stuff, but I also find it a bit refreshing when I sail without it.

I find (on the bay) when wearing the gps I tend to sail longer runs in between jibes and I'm less likely to back off and just tool around on the swells and waves.

Without the gps I'm more likely to sail below top speed and look for things to do along the way. (shorter runs, more frequent jibing, turning down swells, go for more jumps etc

A combination of both is good.

- when sailing flat water at invy or sp, the gps makes it a lot more interesting.

As for the team thing, I reckon we are really lucky to have such a varied group of people who try and sail so often. There's always someone ready to sail or talk about gear with.

Well another day of sailing at Bonno on the SUPer with JAK, Urs and Daniel. A nice warm, blue sky and crystal clear water day. Looks like the same tomorrow.

What a happy family! Topic closed! Dismissed! Over and Out!
