Not as windy as forecasted but was a fun sail with Adam. Nice to sail the w58 for the first time. I was a little worried there wouldn't be enough wind for it but was surprised at how quick it got going. The 30cm falcon was the perfect size. Any bigger and it would have been spitting me off. 

Adam had an excellent run offshore with a 36 vmax. I was too scared to go that far off as i had no float and was worried i would become becalmed. I am fully up to my tits if the board stops. So i stayed inshore with the seagulls.

One day the bluff will bring a special session. The heavens have to converge first.

Windy and Sunny in July, perfect, and what was better we were able to sail at the bluff. Whilst this  beach may be the inspiration for many artists and their paintings, they are certainly missing a trick since sailing here is like being in one of those perfect pieces of art. Crystal clear water, lovely scenery and a nice steady summer offshore breeze.

Delighted Simon was able to make it and he gambled on his W58 which paid off. He's always been quicker than me off the wind and following him on one run he picked up a lead off about 100m. He also got a couple of nice runs at the end whilst I had a couple of sneaky ones at the start.

Best run was well offshore, bearing off through the river and approx 800m out to sea, I caught a good gust and just kept going smoothly and powered over the chop, the  board handled it beautifully and rocks despite now being 7 years old.
