I did not realised it was yours Nic, I thought it was Snides's sail!!! That day I had a quick warm up on the 7 before changing to the 6.2. I dont like that sail on that board, 6.2 will be the max on the Misty 55.

Few pics of the 3 days. nothing too exciting because its hard to find the willing to do much but sail but some of the pics are nice, and give you an idea. I am back home and I really miss the ambiance of those days. I want to congratulate everyone for getting PBs or not, sailing those 3 days, specialy last day.. for pushing hard to their limit.. well done to all , I myself packed 8 pbs in my stay, learn few tricks from the big guns ... such a pleasure to be part of this very special event and meeting everyone. Thank you Jamie for your friendship, helping everyone, be always there when needed, you are a good bloke . I will be back for more, this is so addictive, the best drug in my book
Day one, people a bit quite, having a feel of it..

Day three, people have found their spot.. Jamie and Karl

Few good looking supporters waiting for the action

Pit crew (left) is hidding away on the big day, the flag is up and wind is kicking!!

Big gun Hamma, Karl, Jamie, Mike... talk talk, gearing up

Big gun Jacques, Anthony P.. something is cooking here [}:)]

Izaak P setting up his sail (wonder whats going on in his head )

Early start for Chinaman, and his bro Isaac (not sure who is the other guy!)

Anthony P having a quick test drive


Lot of people are missing, sorry!! like I said was hard to find the willing..

Oh no looks like its on again this weeks forcast looks the same as the last week that went off, a couple great warm up days and then a cranking one on Thursday,
Luckily I'm still on holidays.

graet photos Sammy, glad you survived the drive back safely.

Sammy, that is fantastico !!!!!! Gives everyone an indication of what this special / unique place has to offer.

Good to meet all the sailors from all over the country in my few days over there, how good is this sport?

Would love to be back on every given forecast like this.

I have never seen a more consistant wind that blows 24hrs around thr clock (it is relentless) & the salt build up on your vechicle is immense.

If anyone in the right mind has the opportunity to sail this magic place do yourself a favour & make the effort for the trip as we only live once.

It was a pleasure to meet you Sammy, tres manifique! I can't wait to get down there again before the competition is over. Have a great sail this week Jamie & Co.

Hey Sammy, the pic of Jacques really shows the extra "weight Jacket" he got slung his guts!

Bloody Hell Choco keep it quiet them Pit Crew boys might find out,

Too late. Onto it!

Leave booked. Fins sharpened! Bottoms polished (from sitting around waiting for sooo long! )

I'm back to work on the wednesday, but finish at 3 so will be there for the 4 oclock surge on thursday and friday,

too late for the van daffy the barmera boys have already booked it.
and not really worried if your bottom is polished as i wont be going near it.

Looks like it will be the Mitsubishi 'Van' then.

you are pretty small daffy the barmera boys might be able to sqeeze you into the van, sure choco and hamma need someone between them.
forcast is looking like 3 full on days again.

looks very interesting for later in the week

I knocked down my Windguru experimental modification a tad. It was looking a bit high from the reports I got back.
Looks like I put the mozz on the forecasts as well!.
Still hopeful though......

It'll still be good wind, just maybe not epic!

the BOM forcast.........friday march 1st looks much like the big day we had on march 1st last year.


Thursday 28 February
Winds Southerly 20 to 25 knots turning southeasterly in the evening. Seas 1.5 to 2 metres. Swell Southwesterly 2.5 to 3 metres.

Friday 1 March
Winds Southeasterly 20 to 30 knots turning easterly 25 to 30 knots during the evening. Seas Around 2 metres increasing to 2.5 to 3 metres during the afternoon. Swell Southwesterly 2 to 2.5 metres decreasing to 1.5 to 2 metres during the evening.

I've made so many PB's on virtually every day I've sailed earlier his month at Lake George. I fear going again will just break that epic run:-\ How-ever next year looks promising

looks like some great numbers will be coming in Friday night.
