It seems like months since our last downwinder and today was looking good untill the latest forcast said the change was due around dawn.. JC, Paul and I decided to risk it because we were that desperate.. We met at the crack of dawn and the weather report on the news said the change was due at 8am.. It was now 7.20 and the DW run takes an hour.. We cut the run a little short and started at Elwood instead of St Kilda.. We had to side wind paddle out to the wind line and there wasn't much whence got out there.. Hardly a white cap to be seen.. But there was enough to catch some runners if you worked hard enough.. We were a couple of hundred meters from the end of the run when the change hit so the last little bit was into a side/head wind.. Oh well.. At least we got out downwinder in.. I ran ith two cameras.. The main one back and out wide to the left side and the other shorter and closer on the right side.. My plan was to mix up the views but for some reason the main camera SD card failed.. Bummer.. Here's some vid that I did get.
My eyes must be playing tricks on me with what it looks like JC is paddling, reckon you made the most of it DJ before the change and nothing again forecast anytime soon.
