Aquatic club Toukley. Went out with 7.5 first and pretty much was blown off the water, came in and threw up 6.6 and it backed off 15 to 18 NE and shifting all over the place from ENE to NNE, Crazy. Still ok Johnny, Pugs out, Ray and Lance. Lance took 2 hours to work out what size sail. I was rigging when he turned up and packing up when he went out. Funny @#$%! Tomoz and Monday is looking super sweet! Goodluck Crew! Go Marauders!!!!!!!!!

Wind was gusty and shifting around. Big wind shadow on the shore . Had to swim out to the wind. Once there it was fun. Then swim home again, yuk.

Happy Australia Day all!! A bit underpowered today, but happy to get wet.Is it humid, or what!First sail for 9 days, getting a bit desperate.

SL104,Select viper slam 37, then BP 34 weedy, 6.5 GTX.Needed the 7.9. Bit holey, and gutless wind.Tide was nice and low however.Good crowd: Pete, Chris, Bill, Anton and Ella and Rob on water today. Looks like more serious wind on the way for tommorrow.

Booti Booti, NSW, AU. A bit of a frustrating sail - 15 knots on and off. The on was lovely, almost fully powered on a 7m GTX and Fanatic 102 and pretty flat. No rain yet, so made the most of it. Good to be back on water after a few weeks off and great to finally have an alpha - not a great one but better than 0.

A really good day using my 5.8 Grind and an 83l JP wave and the day gave me a chance to use my new fin. Got a few good duck jibes.

Way overpowered on my 7.5 V8 on JP 114 with 36cm weed free fin in the very gusty NE wind of 20-30 knots. Bloody hairy at times!

A metre smaller would have been better.

Ever wonder if the universe is trying to tell you something?

First sail at Queens in a NE yesterday.  Rigged small expecting the wind to build into the afternoon.  Lovely long comfortable run out, nailed first gybe (never happens).  Gently plopped off coming out of second gybe.  Bootie grabbed deck grip and leg didn't come with me.  Felt ligaments go.  Tried to sail back in.  No good.  Long hop through the mud around the oyster leases back to the car.  Several hours later, went home in a knee brace with crutches.  Off to physio to start rehab this week.  Amusing tracks below.  Hopping through neck deep water with your gear still counts towards distance, right?

Can't believe I've spent most sessions this Summer getting smashed in overpowered conditions, yet I get injured toppling off in what was shaping up to be the most comfortable sail of the season.

Good luck this arvo Marauders!  Hope the big winds come through for you!
