And more forecast for later this week!
Think I gotta work on my downwinding fashion sense.
And maybe up the wetsuit from the 2/1 skiff suit to the 4/3 steamer.
It's amazing how much your paddling deteriorates after one or two falls into cold water...

I think those go-pros must have an automatically defaulted "don't kid yourself, you're not a 20 year old ahlete" setting on them.
There's probably some bastard sitting at the back of their lab who is specifically employed to perfect it.
He used to design those silly mirrors at fun parks.

And that 14 Jav - yeah it's QUICK!
Was linking runners easily.

Ran out of deck padding down the stern though.
I've sprayed the back of it with the "magic paint" stuff, but left a nice neat border aroud the perimeter.
Think I'm going to have to overspray the border so I have another inch of grip before I get that "Oh dear, I've run out of width and grip" feeling and slip over the side into the 13c water. (added the water temp detail for our Qld & WA readers)
