$0Big day at Hardie's  2 PBs. Woohoo!$0 $0Arrived early and it was windy. On the water by 7.30 and put in a solid hour in a moderate southerly. By 8.30 the wind was gone.$0 $0Decrepit arrived and we had a chat also Pepe who unfortunately had to go to work. Got sucked in to slogging around a couple of times and then gave up. Sat in the sun waiting and about 11.30 it came in. Did a few loops round the first channel marker and then the scientific platform before deciding to go across the other side and finish an hour. A 23.6 but wind had continued to build so keep going.$0 $0Got back to the ramp to see Decrepit heading up wind so followed him up and had a quick chat with Sammy at the top of the estuary.$0 $0I was going to join their hour effort but it sounded like I was not welcome so I set off on my own. Went way to broad early on so was at the bottom of the run with half an hour to go. Thought I had used most of the estuary but was still not using the full width. Worried about depth on the far side. Sonic was great and I reckon there is more still on the right day / path. Finished at the bottom of the estuary as the wind really picked up. It was a well overpowered slog back to base.$0 $0$0 $0Had 117 miles on the board and as the wind was howling by this point decided to get the speed board out.$0 $0A few nicely powered up runs on the 5.7 and decrepit pointed out the broken bottom batten, Not bad speed for a broken sail.$0 $0Very happy with probably my best all round set of numbers for a single day.$0 $0Thanks to the Manbramob for use of their home turf.$0 $0Warp6.3, sonic 100, elmo 29 weedy for all except the lat 15ish Ks. Warp 5.7, nonose, elmo wailing banshee 24 weedy.$0 $0$0 $0 $0
