How's the aircon working Richi; if it gets to 12knts I'll bring down the big gear.

Air conditioning is going great thanks Jo...mmmmm cool. I'm getting 11.5 knots here at the moment. I'll be down the point around 2:30 ish.

Sensational arvo on the 7m. Consistant breeze, relatively flat water,ENE breeze meant big runs down to Wynnum and back. I actually went faster than Simon F (he was riding a battleship thou). I hope Clives rib is okay after hitting that f@#king crab pot rope. Simon C where were ya ? Would have been perfect for you to test out the new gear !

A great avo! Sailed Wynnum 3 to 4 pm. 15-19 knots. Powered up on 7.3. Great long runs from manly to Wynnum. Saw about 3 turtles as well. Awesome! 😉

i was stuck getting work done because something has to pay for all of that new gear . When you beat some one dont say its the gear richie always say its rider skill its only the equipment when you lose .

Caught a crab pot rope on my fin, went over the front and landed on the boom. I had an impact vest on but the boom hit me under my armpit where the zip is and no padding.

The good news in my 3rd boom for this year seams to be OK

Rib injuries go with the territory, hope it heals fast, see you out there when it does.
