Day two - "Becalmed".

A treacherous calm has besieged us and forced us to do odd jobs around the house as, alas, there is nought else. I put aside my tax return and dolefully stare out the window, willing my "wind tree" to move, the slightest response causing a brief flutter of excitement, an inner commotion only matched by the seaway's fallacious observations. These moments are cinders rising hastily from a camp fire, naively opportune and buoyant before rapidly fading into the darkness that encompasses us.

Hopefully help will arrive soon.

this time last year we had virtually 6 weeks of evil 12knot easterlies. i hope it's not a repeat

You need to get your old man to bring the Burrum trip forward. I was out with a 5.0 yesterday

Nice ramps too!

good session this arvo at Manly on the 7m. Fairly consistant ESE/SE 12-16 knots with the odd gust or lull....

Day 3 - "Ad nauseum"

Each day is the same as the last, our existence tantamount to naught. Some of the crew are now so desperate for any embodiment of sustenance that in a reckless frenzy have taken to drinking the seawater and, in the aftermath, have become delirious.

evil..... cheer up you are now funemployed!

mmmm 1400. 14 knots NE, Manly Harbour, mmm, methinks....[}:)]

Err...you on daylight saving time?

I've been out on the GC Broadwater Monday and Tuesday. Planing 10% of the time on a 7.2.

It is so nice on a weekday. I've never seen it like that. I counted five boats over 5 hours on Tuesday, honest. Five! The entire area is flat and so quiet, no fn boat wakes messing it all up, no car traffic either.

These "weekdays" are another world.

I did a slogging cruuuuise from Labrador to Paradise Point. Water is beautiful, turquoise in the sun and high tide. Looks like it does on googley maps. Slogging around sure beats sitting in a dark room in front of an LCD... in Toowoomba.

Actually slogging around/crusing is like surfing. You spend most of your time paddling and waiting and then finally a gust/wave comes and wheeeeee! You really appreciate and enjoy it.

putting wind infront of surfing makes it so much better

I love to see youngsters taking an interest in the BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD!

hey panda,

sounds like you need a sup that takes a rig.

i went in the surf in 5 knots on one with a 6.4m sail. was sweet.
