Izaak, would I be right in saying Stanley looks good Monday, great Tuesday and epic Wednesday and Thursaday.
Whats your thoughts?

Hope you have heaps of fast fun

Cheers Russ

Yes looks good to sail Monday threw to Thursday.

May need to abandon marrawah on Monday and camP @Stanley instead

Who's with me ?

Let me know where your sailing tomorrow, we coming up from Strahan in the morning (Monday).

Feels like a northerly here at greens. Will wait out a bit to see what happens.

Ended up in Stanley, just getting some lunch. Some are on the east inlet.

Get a pie from the servo at the turn off, they're bloody good.
Don't forget to post photos. (of the sailing, not the pies)

Clyde & I staying the night in Stanley in a cabin, bit too wet to set up a tent at Marrawah. So where's the go for tomorrow?? Back here at Stanley? Port Latta? Bugger off rain.

Buzzy just hit 38 knots, Jodie 23, well done
We got some fantastic jumps on Stanley front beach
Damo: altitude 24.6M double loop
Rob 20.5M hit an albatross
Simon went so high he saw god
Fos pushed the tide up when he got catapulted
Andy broke his down haul rope then broke the strap on top of sail but still managed 10.2M
Well done guys only going to get bigger as the week goes on

Yes some nice numbers, we will be in a cabin the next few days should be there around ten tomorrow morning.

Thanks Ant for keeping us posted.

Sounds like heaps of fun Go Boys!!!!! and Girls!!!!

Cheers Russ Working is so much fun

Goodluck today guys. Hope the conditions turn it on!

Unfortunately it didnt 'turn it on', it was fun, but a bit less wind than yesterday. Theres always tomorrow!

First time I've sailed Stanley great spot although I was a but p...... off with my speed.... but there's always tomorrow, another good forecast.
3 sails in 3 days in 3 different locations and 3 disciplines, wave, bump & jump and speed... can it really get much better....well maybe a bit of sun.

Great to finally meet Perks, Izaak, James and Jordon M....I can see why you guys are into speed... got me pumped flying down those channels.

Fos I think Jez is going to knock you off, I reckon he got a PB today.

Just checked GPS and yes Jez hit 26, nice one.... sorry Fos when I left him on the beach he said all he wanted was to knock you off
Well done Karen on your 28

Easty, I think they are Mrs Macs pies from memory

Nah Steve, they are homemade. And the best. Someone I know has been known to have one for breakfast, one for lunch and 2 for tea.

last time i was there my dog even baulked at the pie from the weird pie shop it had been around too long reheated too many times and there usually great.

Awesome day at Stanley check it out gpsteamchallenge.com.au/sailor_session/show?date=2011-01-12&team=27

Well done to all who sailed.

Izaak, simply sensational, well done!!

Dave 02 you should have been here.

Couldn't make it this time unfortunately, was following the forecast though and glad so many were able to be there for those winds!!

Must have been good yesterday, so many pb's.
Well done

Well done Karen for hitting the 30knots, how good does it feel!!

And Jez what an effort, 6 months ago you had a battle up-hauling the sail and now you're a fraction off 30 and on your 115L in a 40 knot wind!!!
Now just give your big board to Clare and get her down to the lagoon on a sunny day.

I got smashed out in that middle channel, going flat out in the chop out of control, went air borne, cartwheeled, survived but nothing worse than getting drilled when you're on your own............limped home and realised Kaleb witnessed it....... fantastic.

Thanks Johnno for giving me a few hints

Yes, it was one of the most spectacular crash's I've ever seen. Through the haze of the torrential rain I saw Houston round the corner into the second chanel then in a split second, in 40 knots of wind and well over thirty knots everything exploded into a double cartwheel whith Ant wrapped up in the middle of it. I went into panic thinking he'd destroyed several parts of his body and maybe broken his neck. Dragging my gear through the shallows trying to get back to the channel I saw Anthony water start and again I could breath. He pulled up next to me with a huge smile on his face and no damage, thank goodness.
Fair dinkum what is this blokes problem, hes happy to smash the crap out of himself cartwheeling all over the place, but wont try a safe old forward loop. Pussy!!!

sounds like he did a double forward, just didn't land it to good

Thanks Ant for the kind words, it certainly was a fantastic trip and I think their would’ve been a lot of happy faces at the end of it. I think nearly everyone that sailed at Stanley with a GPS from newbie through to the young guns and a bit older scored at least one PB and saw good improvement in their speeds.

I had one big crash as well, not as bad as yours by the sounds of things, but bad enough. Claire caught it on video as well, may post it at some point.

Looking forward to this weekend and hopefully we see some sunshine and warmer weather.

Fos you coming up?

Yes it feels so good to be in the 30's club nowAnd on the wave gear as well. Damn it I missed the cartwheel, but I've seen so much speccy stuff from you Ant that it's nothing new
You are doing so well Jez, it's all forward from now, keeness gets you places.
