The phone's running hot

dark,cold and wet even before hitting the water!!.....wouldnt miss it for anything!

I've already packed the car...
Good way to break the wind drought.

nebbs dont think peli will be any good if there is a hint of west in it.. the opposite side at melville will be the go,rumour has it may be hard to find a carpark at 6.00am

Yeeehhaaaarrrrrggggghhhh


The winds up
The cars loaded
It's dark outside
And it's a work day

Dawn Patrol

Back in 3 hours

All yooz perth boys are soft. Mine was the only sail out there between 7 and 8 am...

Gusty but worth every second!

Elmo

Come and try out that new wave board tomorrow. Your allowed to talk to me now I've resigned

First sail for 16 weeks after my operation. Hope it worked.

Well I got down to peli point at 6.30am as planned. The wind "appeared quite mild" so I went with a floaty board and big fin and a bagged out 6.5... big mistake...

After dogging it out to the channel got blasted by the westerly and decided to sail over to lucky bay. My fin was waaaayyy too big and the board was railing up.... got to lucky bay to see some others rigging up. Cranked the outhaul to make the return trip a bit easier... nope... just as bad... So overpowered and the board was railing.... I was crashing out every 300 metres.... arrgghh..
Also I've been sitting on my arse for the last month, not sailing so am pretty unfit at the moment... Got back to peli point nackered...

Great way to start the morning though. Definately do a storm sail again...

Hey Nebbian
yeah, I think you were a bit too far around. The main lauch there is at the boat ramp where the main car par is.
Your right.. it was in a wind shadow... but after getting out into the channel it was howling.
It is too far for me to drive to melville before work... Even at 6.30am these days the traffic is getting bad.
Had a good time anyway.
Cheers
