Albany, WA, AU

Mission was for the hour,
I have wanted to improve my old pb for a while now.

5.8RSSII and Iso 86 jp 31 weedy. Broke a harness line, put on a quite second hand one and guess what: borke that one.

changed up to 7.0 RSREII , sailed a few runs went too far nrorth and ran aground. Bugger got to other side and fell off then notied crack in nose . Bugger.

Changed to W52 and Elmo 23 weedy with 7.0

Not as fast but good fun. Quite gusty so lots of time doing 20 kts Frown. Kept at it and did not drop a gybe in over an hour ( and the runs are about 1km, Had a ball ( as so often would have liked abit more wind.)

I have put the google earth image in for those who wonder where they should have been in WA todayTongue out

 

got a pb by .02 of a kt. Still countsCool

On a another positive note I did another few decent gybes.

Thanks Mike, both harness lines were pre used onesEmbarassed

The nose was self inflicted.

forgot to mention that as I took the mast out of my 7.0 it pulled out the mast plug thingo that is supposed to be part of the head of the sail. Another thing to fix.

Still happy though!
