Lake George, South Australia.

Another fun day. Not much wind but enough for a good blast. LOT's of sails on the lake today and I had my head on a swivel. Dezza snuk up behind me and tapped my bum which was exciting! 

After a few other close calls I exited down the the spit and Kevs bay. Boy, the weed there is thick now. I nearly got stuck going upwind even with a 20cm Delta fin!!! There was not more speed down there so I climbed back up again.

Came in for a rest as Kato set out on his Marathon attempt.

I went down and tried to chase him with the video for a couple of laps but I couldnt keep up with him!!! He was MOTORING! I was doing between 25 and 30 knots and he was pulling away from me by about half a knot and looking O' so Relaxed. I would not be surprided if he has a 27 kt hour in his first couple of hrs.(He had a 28kt hr in his furst hour!!!)

I went back to beachport and got some dinner and waited for him to come in at dusk for his rest stop. He was a bit chilled so he changed his wetsuit to his 4/3, filled up his water bags and stocked up on some energy bars. 

He came in just before 11pm again to get his big board and sail as the wind had eased and was off again. 'See you at Dawn was his last proclimation.

I'm off to sleep.
