It can be tough when the other members of a team are more experienced, but personally I love having to really push myself to get close to the other team members! It will improve your sailing no end, and the other team members will go all out to help you improve.
It's easier to get that extra knot when you're going 23 knots compared to 33 knots, and both will improve your teams average by the same amount
Go for it!

Welcome to join Pinna's, we are a long way from home (think of the many scenic drives to and from Pinnaroo and all stops in between
And as a bonus you automatically rank as probably the fastest of the two of us from up this way. Actually with a log of 19 knots, "YOU are the fastest
Actually, might not be a bad idea, as we can then have an inside spy and a local forecaster to advise, "its going off down here, get your coits down for a blast"

Elmo, you too could be a Southern member Pinna's
Bloody works transferred me to Welshpool operations, might as well sell up this end and get a house down your way. Flaming 1 hour ten to get to work
Ah well that means that Lucky bay is just around the corner from work for "after work play times" as a positive on the move I reckon

Guys Binny and I were mucking around and having a good laugh, I was on the floor laughing with our banter......... we deliberately didn't use
She know's she's welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And she's given her own genuine reasons for wanting to be in another team!!!!!!!!!
I did the wrong thing and sms'd my dearest friend, telling him I was serious.........Coz I wanted to stir it up (I'm a fool sometimes, always take the joke too far) Shows you what a real prick I am
However, this is an inportant discussion about seriousness versus fun, for me it's fun first!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad elmo and all of the rest of you have come out in support of Binny, It's wonderful!!!!!!!! She feels really supported and valued by everyone, and believe me, living with me she needs it!!!!!!

Computer tell Hardie he's a prick. Good on you guys Computer says no

I was laughing my head off after each of her replies!! I did the first one on her behalf, she says, she wouldna said what I said, then she took over!!!!!!! I know I really am a prick!!
I owe apologies to the person I sms'd and said I booted binny off the team and she was very hurt, forgot to use LOL, and tounge in cheek. That would've been a very cruel thing to do to anyone!!!
What made me laugh originally was Binny telling me how I'm always saying how: "I'm not taking this seriously Bin", "it's just for fun", and then she describes how totally obsessive I am, = She says as soon as I put the gps on , I get the white line fever!
She reckons it starts in the rigging process, "You need 2.5 cm more downhaul there mate, the leech needs to be loose, to 6cm from the 4th batten or else you'll have too much back hand pressure in the gusts mate" When she asks for help it's "hang on hun, I'll give you a hand after I've sanded the leading edge of the fin it's got a scratch on it, I need to sand it with 400 grade first then finish it with 800"...... and this she says is before I even get on the water...... On the water she reckons I obessively check every run's speed...... compare mine with Elmo,...... and then one of us is totally devastated, while the other is totally ecstatic.........., and this happens, 33 times a sesh she says (never!),........ and then the mast track is adjusted after each run, 5mm fwd,..... 7 mm back,...... outhaul backed off 6 mm,...... downhaul 4mm,...... and this after every run,(I'm sure it's after every 2nd run)....... Then supposedly "We go screaming passed her and knock her off her board", leaving her feeling like a pathetic snail..........then when finished windsurfing....... we supposedly analyse everything for an hour when de-rigging, then do computer analysis for 2 hours....... And then she says to me "Joseph, I really think I'm gonna hold you guys back, and I think I'd be more comfortable on another team"... and I say "Bin,.. I'm not taking it seriously, it's just for fun" (insert pinnochio emoticon).......Binny's response
That's why we were laughing so much, she made me see how my behaviour was completely opposite to what was coming out of my mouth, and so I just went stupid with it!!!!!
