Looking forward to great Christmas on the lake..
Its almost a year since I got started up here at Elanda point - a fantastic year!!

Update for the Holidays....
1. Wife in an updated Van (Got to keep Jane happy)
2. Kids rigs and windsurfers organised (thanks to seabrease buy and sell)
3. 155ltre Starboard GO!!! (thanks to seabrease buy and sell )
4. A mess of sails and masts (again thanks to seabrease buy and sell)
5. A year in the Gym working on my fitness - got a crook back on the leg press
6. Got a new bionic eye (catarach surgery) so I can see where I'm going!
7. Picked up my new toy this afternoon (again thanks to seabrease buy and sell )





I've had a great afternoon on the water (6.6 north sail) -exceeded my expectations for some gentle breese fun. OMG it got going - I got trashed!!!

I got a few issues...
1. Gravel rash on my knees and elbows (ouch!!) from the 80 grit sandpaper deck - can you get elbow and knee pads?

2. When it got going (remember I'm a beginner) it tipped up onto the side - is this because its narrow and has a centre board? I found I could controll the lifting by putting my weight further out from the centre of the board.

3. Think I'll have to make up a nose pad for the board as I've catapulted myself forward into the nose a few times already.


I'm delerious with the shear joy of it all - will keep you posted on how the holiday goes.

Goals for the next few weeks -
1. Get planing on a more consistant basis (get the GO going)
2. If the wind gets up have a go at water starting
3. Get out on the water twice a day - morning and afternoon
4. Teach the kids to windsurf.

Happy Holidays
Cheers Jeff
