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..

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.

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......

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
