sounds good, is gregs dodgy sounding toilet block with "very nice people" somewhere near the caravan park?

Hahahaha , yep near the caravan park ! That wasn't supposed
To sound like that James

forecast has changed a few times over the last couple of days,
it maybe a bit of quess when it will blow but it should some
time. I getting another mount for the cam to try some new angles.
i going to try mounting it on a pole in the water & everyone can
gybe infront of it. whats the area like, anyone had stuff stolen
from cars or the beach?.

I've seen some dodgy looking gangs of 10-12 year old kids wandering around looking in peoples yards & going into the toilet block ().
One of the guys forgot his boom & extension and they were gone when he came back the next day ( but that could happen anywhere).
I suppose if other sailors are on the shore it would be safe to leave gear but I always tie my boards to the racks or a tree with a bike lock.
Hard to know when to go tomorrow. Planning for an early sail but will watch the wind.
The camera should be safe if its out on a pole in the water at this time of year..brr..

Had a nice warm sail at marmong this afternoon ,
10 to around 28 knots

I was thinking it would be nice & warm for once..N or NW?

Great yesterday .I expected it to be a walk in the park after the last few full on sails but I still wore out fast. c 20 kts + reasonably consistent.
Rus set up his camera on a pole and we gybed near it..I thought I was going to collect it a few times .I'd go flying in and then start the gybe and concentrate on the exit when I was about 10' from it and hope I'd turned early enough.. It survived.
Be interesting to see if it worked. Took about 1 dozen gybes but finally got 1 that was half decent..

What sort of camera were you using?

Will you make a clip to post online?

Burn them to disc russel , leave it in your
Car and I will get it next time I see you
