I went out at wanda yesterday at about 2.30.
Wind light but just enough to waterstart.
Waves were 3/4 mast in the sets and breaking top to bottom and strong currents.
Good fun but hard work getting out.
Fitness goes quick with a month off and a few to many beers in that time.
Matt and Prez went in as I was getting out.
Anyone go out Gerroa way?
Looked like it could have been good down that way.

I was down there the last week but had to leave yesterday morning due to some commitments here in Sydney... grr...
when we left at 10:30am it was a solid peeling 6 foot, wind was about 10 knts. , I can only imagine how good it would have been in the afternoon... double grrr.

I only sailed at 12-2. Was getting better and better, spewing I had to leave. Waves where pretty good, closing out abit but get 2-3 smacks on most. When I sailed it was 15kts and when I left it was 20kts and looking awesome.

I managed less than an hour as a bigger set turned a small seam tear into a full panel needing replacement - sailed in with the tack reinforcement the only thing in place below the boom - at least I got some waves before it happened, the wind was just enough to get out unless you were unlucky, and the waves had plenty of meat

Matt - sailing well - managed top get a bunch of good waves and I don't think he even got his sail wet - obviously well rested
