Very bumpy Mettams to Sorrento. 5,8 SE Wave and Kombat. Could have got away with smaller but played it safe.

First time for using the sonic 95 in the real ocean (had tried at Pinnaroo before) – launching at Mettams had me worried about it handling a set but once I was out it was all good. No nasty nose diving but had to relearn the gybing on a face habbits a small board gets you into to.

A great sail with a 5.8 SE Wave and the old drake fin. Mettams to sorrento and planed almost the whole time, SL VB stopped at watermans after plodding that far on smaller gear.

Perhaps I should have used a bigger sail – might try that next time – now that I own a 6.5

Light wind Coasty 5.8 – not enough for second half. Gav stopped at Watermans. Couple of drunks accosted SL and JT when packing up. Wanted to tell us their life stories. A bit worrying at the end. Better than working.

Lovely 5.0 day, Mettams to Sorrento. Bit of a wind wave and some swell about, first run out got half way round on a jump tack (made that name up but it describes it).

5m – Mettams to Sorrento

Wind dropped out after Mettams, should have rigged bigger but still some fun.

Cruisy Mettams to Sorrento. Didnt think there would be enough wind but it was surprisingly nice. 5.8 Ezzy SE, 79L Kombat. Slow but fun.

GPS seems to have died – just pulled it apart and got it working, but as soon as I put it all back together I got “firmware error” and then it turned on/off – now dead again. Oh well these things happen.

Had a lovely mettams to sorrento cruise 5.8 ezzy SE wave, Kombat 79l

Nice sail for 5.8 those rigging 5.0 a bit light at the end. Ball party on at Metts, strong smell of sheep ship not connected to ball I think. Nice cruise – very short.

4.2 again but today the wind was PERFECT for that size. Great fun sail, crowds and swell gone (still a bit of swell).

Closer to 20 knots than 15 most of the time today, peek 24. The big difference being it was controlled !

Extreme day, Gale warning 25-35 Knots. 4.2 sail too big almost all of the time. Big swell as well. Then it picked up a bit. Heaps of surfers out at Watermans and lots of sailors at Mettams.

Steve – the speed across the wind “most” of the time was around 15 Knots. Peak was 22 and 500 metres was peak at about 17. Sailing with the brakes on !

Wow lookingback that was the epic day, a real one. Big swell and huge wind. Took several goes to get out at Metts (just the white water and faces pushing back) but the power in the wind made it not so hard to get out.

Watermans was hard due mainly to the stand up surfer crowd who had the whole bay covered. Tricky to find a gap, in the end just sailed the line and they paddled out of the way.

BIG ! Seriously thinking I need a 3.9
