iS90, 6.3RBlade, 33 CL Sl2 - Lammermoor Beach, QLD, AU ESE 15 - 22kn

After yesterday's ballistic session thought I'd give the main beach a go.  Wind never really cranked and should have gone with my gut feel and rigged the 7.0 but the 6.3 wasn't too bad - just not enough going broad.  tried for an Nm on first run broad heading downwind to main beach but wind very up and down.  Found some flattish water between the swells in close but headland was buffering wind a lot.  Much nicer to sail over here than Lammermoor as there's no wave reverberation and ocean bottom much more consistant.  Only issue was the outgoing creek outflow combined with the incoming waves created a washing machine half way through the broad runs.  Some scary moments but never had any offs.  2 Sec beach PB for me and tried as I might just couldn't get it over 34 - had a 33.95 on the dial.  Just shy of my ocean distance PB although I don't think I could have sailed much longer as arches of feet rubbed raw from the footpads and the constant jarring / bouncing around.  Can't ever recall that happening before.  Hands were a bit tender  too from sailing difficult conditions over the last three days.

Quite surprised at how well the 90 went upwind to get me home in only 4 runs.  Will sleep very well tonight.
