Bit of a southerly breeze calling on Sunday and that feeling we know of slalom blasting across the water loading up those foils in hand and under foot . I was on 2019 Ka Race 7.1 proto , M137 & CL44 fin, and sailed upwind a few suburbs along the bay a couple of times, 95km of ye haaar ...

Mate had a drone he is still getting the hang of, aperture settings etc, it was able to keep up ok, my GPS had me averaging 28-29 knots, looks flatter than it was, here is a vid he made.

Looks just like Lake George

I gather you haven't sailed on the Bay... to me that looks like 3-4ft swell... ie: Spotty is a tall fellow, and the swell lines look to be at least half his height.

Meh, 1/2 a foot Hawaiian.

More downhaul Spotty.

I was out at the same time on B&J gear and didn't know Spotty had disappeared down to Aspendale. Couldn.t find him and thought my sail and mast had gone to Davy Jones locker, didn't care about him. It was rough considering just on 20 knots, might have been a a bit flatter at Aspendale as it had a touch of East in it but 1 meter steep waves at Beaumaris with a tide driven mess in between. 31 knots on big gear in that is a great effort in my opinion.

Matt, no I haven't, my comment was a poor attempt at irony!

Great video Spotty, makes me want to get back into the deep blue
