Bender got a GPS reading we'd all love to see




Thats 61.88knots on the dial.

Unfortunately it occurred from a stack which the Bendy man is really starting to feel the effects of.

Data analysis (from what i gather) has him resurface 100m from his last track point after a number of very stylish tumbles. I'll leave Ben to give all the gory details. He's alright just very sore.

I missed the stack but he flagged me over afterwards and was looking quite dazed and a bit stunned (and stoked, mad bugger) with the 61 on the dial, a bit of a rest later he was back up and running (tough as).

When speed sailing if you see one of your mates have a big off go and check them. Stay with till they are ok to sail of then follow them for a bit.

I greatly appreciated Snides and Claude Going out of there way to check up on me a few months back as I was quite dazed and confused. It does make a difference! and could make all the difference.

Don't know how Yoyo will play this one for the state GPS ranking, was on the GPS and whilst in some semblance of sailing

I think Mr Bender is going to have the most uncomfortable bed tonight.

It wouldn't be a 2 sec Navi speed , would it?

So I'm one step ahead. As stated in the preamble ..

*Speeds are Display on Garmin
And 2 sec Doppler on Navi/GT-11

Bender and I checked it out at my place, Realspeed only showed a normal speed, 33 knots I think. That's still one heck of a catapult!

I am bloddy sore today. My body is a world of pain

Despite the pain your in, it was some stack you had, and taking from another post, you probably went off like a giant rat trap.
However, you looked like you had just coped a jolt from big bad Bazza from the Sydney Swans when you showed me the numbers on the screen, can see it in your eyes. or you look like your recovering from a "Bender" (excuse the pun)
Hope your not too sore, but as Grumps said, get checked out. Best to be sure than sorry.

Caught up with the Bendy man today, had the "old man" shuffle going on

I think he had about a 1/2inch² on his left elbow which didn't hurt
