Oh yeah :) Great day! We sailed slalom from Speers Point Sailing Club. Lots of spills and thrills, some new top speeds, and a visit from the Ambulance Ian is OK though.

Yep, there was still some chop but small enough to be manageable on slalom boards without getting too airborne. It was relatively consistent (for a westerly) - just a few big lulls where everyone started to sink.

Sail sizes were between 4.7 and 5.8 - I used a 6.5 briefly in the morning but way too much. When it gets windy, everyone pulls out their old fluoro sails - Tibor had a relatively new sail but apart from that everyone's were 5 years old plus. Mick's old 5.6 Sailworks was from 1992!

Ian dislocated his shoulder but after a quick trip to hospital was home that night. No doubt it will be a while until he can get back on the water. He caught his fin on a rope downwind of the start line buoy and had a big catapult.

Looks like some nice nor-easters coming this week so I'd say Coal Point will turn it on again.
