Just wanted to thank whoever it was that suggested that i get an Aquapac for my GPS. Never paid much attention until it gets seriously windy.
After getting the catapult of the day, rag doll style (according to the boys on the beach) I surfaced from about 3 feet down, turned around to look for my gear and spotted my GPS floating about 5 feet away safely warm and dry in its Aquapac.
I realised i hit with my right shoulder and the force of the water tore it straight down my arm and off. No bag, no GPS.
The best part, turning it back on and reading 34.1 knots on the display.
So if you have a GPS put it in something that is waterproof and floats.

Sambo, I just wish i could get to those speeds.
I was told I made a hole in the water that took awhile to fill back up
I dont know how long it took to come to a stop but I had to gather hat, GPS and swim to gear.
Im just so glad I came unhooked at some stage.

Thanks Elmo, I think you were one of the guys that suggested I get an Aquapac in the first place.
I didnt lose it but I was lucky that i turned around and spotted it floating. At least its proved that it floats, is water tight and pretty sturdy.
Now looking forward to some more runs on the new board.

Nah Elmo, ****head me always clears the data after a sail and of course i did this one as well.
I wanted to keep it but being all excited I forgot.
Hopefully get some more this weekend.
