Fully lit on 5.2 for 2.5hrs on the river. Last 1/2 hr had dropped but still planing most of the time. Could have gone up to 6.0 and sailed another 3 hrs but i was too stuffed.

Big boat wakes, saw 2 forwards and a pushloop. Boys pulling half mast air often.

Where was everyone, only saw 3 of the usual beach crew and the rest were river regulars.

Hey I was there too!

Same same fully lit on 5.2, had some good blasts across to the other side. I think the guy doing forwards was the one who lives up north, he just bought that board and was trying it out, seemed to be very stoked with it

Had a sniff of the doctor today... Hope he comes to visit tomorrow onwards

He is supposed to be coming tomorrow but I had to come back home to work for a week just as the seabreezes come back [}:)]

Nebbs what gear were you on? I was on rusty orange Combat wave and RRD FSW

Where did you go Mark and Nebbs? Majestic?
I was gonna come down with the kids coz my wife was working. Ended up going for a swim at the marina instead.

Nah went to Peli as it was ESE

I was planning to do Majestic Point on Mon morning as it was supposed to be strong ENE but they downgraded the forecast and I was too sore after Sun

Blue 2010 Ezzy, iSonic 94 at Peli...

Best easterly I think I've ever sailed! (Apart from those magic northeasterlies at Kirra but I don't think they really count)

Sunday morning. Sailed right off normal sailing beach northwards along beach through the cray boats. Wind was straight offshore and howling. Only 1 other sailor out..
sailed for about a hour but the smell of bacon being cooked by the travellers on the bbq forced me home for breakfast.

Yeah boxing day was great fun.. was trying out my new Tabou pocket 75.. it sticks to the water really well when overpowered.

The Rotto ferry is by far the best wake to boost - I was so close to the boat that I landed the forward into the propwash and sank! Biggest audience ive ever had haha

Had to get a sail in for my one week down in Perth.. so crap NOW you guys get the seabreezes now im back in Karratha.

We're getting a 3m swell and 40 knots on sunday so I'll get out up here (no doubt by myself)!

See you fellas in Feb - pray to the margies wind and swell gods for me! Im going crazy up here.
