Good tide for the bank at midday

If the winds up I be there. the suns just come out here.

It was a good day

yeah, good for some,

got there too late as the wind was backing off.

-broke my downhaul when rigging
-the aquapac then fell appart in my hands as i was sealing it,
-sailed off from the beach upwind then hits rocks in the shallows,
-something stung me walking out of the shallows
-then spent the next 20 minutes sailing sideways with constant spinout
-wind dropped off more meaning way too much downhaul and too small fin
-stacked every gybe
-called it quits and kicked the fin as i was heading back up the beach cutting my big toe down to the bone. (thanks guys for the bandaids)
- while derigging put a cam through the mast sleeve

**** ay, well at least u got a sail, i cant even get a sail coz im flooded in :(

Gestalt, take solace in the knowledge that you weren't the only one having problems today...

-broke my fin off on the 3rd run
-suffered near-hypothermia waiting in cold water while a very kind person brought me a new fin
-suffered constant spinout and was considering just turning my footstraps sideways and going with the flow
-went to Target and they didn't have the exact jeans I wanted
-still can't gybe

...but I'll be back for more!!!!!!!

Sounds like you had a good day Gesty, have you been a naughty boy this week and karma has bit you on the ass. Me and another guy managed to put a beached stingray back in the water and then i got a pb for the gps challenge.Are you at GB tomorrow, the morning is looking windier

Geez,

and I thought my day ws bad !!

At least I got going!!


had one those days where I should have stayed home!!

Had to rig twice cos the mast didn't quite fit, first out, miss the gybe, hit my face. Sail for another minutes with a trail of blood from my nose!.

Stop, rest, sail back down the bank, tracking behind, but keeping up with Pierre and Vando - think I'm doing OK and then ka-boom - or should I say - no boom - sheared off clean at the masthead.

Even after turning the boom over the clew end was so stuffed I really struggled and slogged to get home.

Oh- and the doctor said I should not have been sailing!!! - Wish I had listened.

Catch up soon Gestalt, by the way cancel my pb, ran through the data again and I think the gps got it wrong, down to 23.8.

Sounds like everyone had an interesting day...

Add one more to the list of broken booms, I was just grooving along at shearwater and then SLAM was in the water... and of course it was the side I needed to get home with! Did the same as the good Dr, flipped it up the other way and sailed home.

And I forgot my aquapak so no GPS times sorry Team SEQ
