Almost....at wello..6.6 and flying only to come to a grinding halt..with the sudden wind drop and dredged back in from outside the channel beacons... glad i did not fall off on the sail in.. no wind to water start... well at least got 1hr of awesome sailing.....

Sailed VP this morning with 5.3 and was going well until getting totally overpowered after midday. Was pretty awesome!!
Left before the fan shutdown as I ran out out of wind!! Feel for those stuck out there. Been a fickle few days and different/changing forecasts. Who knows what the next day will be??

No downwinder today Cruiser1755. But great sail with EvilPanda at "The Grand" from 1 to 4pm. Gestalt went further north to Shearwaters. Must have been pretty good there too.

Yep, Shearwater was pumping for quite a while. It shut down about 4 or 4.30-ish. Wind was up and down. A 5.3 + 85 litre wavy was the go for this little sailor. Had a short paddle home.

Same here got stuck out near king island on a 4.7 and 76L waveboard i was like up to my knees the whole way in. what a let down

the wind shut down at shearwater too around 4pm. i dredged back in up to my knees in water feeling very unsteady, had a few failed waterstarts and managed to find a gust to get up.

was well windy before that.

lol i didnt go out, had to vist my brother in hospital (involed a kite and oysters)
almost seems like a good thing (not really)

yeah at vp
got some oyster right in near the bone
and had to go to the pa
i was going to get him a windsurfer a a present for when he gets out

thats what he probably needs to cheer himself up

Hey Kerry, it could have been worse, you could have been on a 7 mtr kite. Luckily I missed the fun by being at work, next time maybe,

That's the way. You are a truly considerate sibling windy. You'd better sell his kite though to help pay for it. Do it now before he is released. You know your mum would want you to.
