Yeah Dave a quick one 330-430 by myself.

Pretty windy over powered on a 5.4 - should have gone the 4.7.- a few nice big peaks out to sea but waist high waves on the inside - a few little turns and cutbacks - It's weird jumping on the northerly tack when you've spent all summer going the otherway.

A couple of the North Haven boys sailed all afternoon and said it was good the whole time.

Gonna miss out tomorrow and snapper should be good first thing on the high tide

There were no windsurfers out at North haven. There was about 18 kites but the breeze was 15 with gusts of maybe 18. I didnt go out as my biggest sail is a 5.0 and there was not enough for me.

I sat there and watched (cried) from about 3pm-4.30

The North Haven crew were out at the mid at U turns/Seaford.

Goolwa Beach is looking good... 20 - 25 kt westerlies and a solid swell (5 metres by seabreeze!)

So how was it.

Been watching the trees bending all day in the coutyard at work - cold sweats and shakey hands and headaches - is this the signs and symptoms of windsurfing addiction or I am getting the flu!

Hey Russh,

I sailed the Mid in the morning it was about 1 1/2 foot I was on my 5·0 and 83 litre wave board. The wind was swinging around the place. I got some ok waves.

Then I went for a arvo sail at Brighton on a 6·4 and 96 litre supercross. It was ok I was working on heli tacks.

I hope you all got a sail!!

It was great to be back out on the water again.
