Yep, good fun today but never felt overpowered with an 8.5 so that shows how much it blew in later on the low tide for Dag at Bongaree.
Pope John was sailing over there on 6.4 while you guy's were there. That's the difference in wind.
It still amazes me, because you'd think it's the same wind. I was on the 5.8, but it was only at the end that it really blew enough to have gone down two sizes in board, and I'd had enough anyway by then.
