I swear it looked like that at Pt Walter in that big Easterly that we had a while back.
Too much chop for you, Hardie!
What was the dead thing in the water at 1.23? Big fish?
how'd ya like to crack a 20kt Alpha in that
Thanks Hards, great to watch (impossible to do 
) Looks like the chop we get here in Yeppoon
zomg! i don't know how that gets classed as a river! it looks more like cape horn to me.
those sailors are seriously bold. the sheer explosive power they put into their airs makes it fascinating to watch.
Wind opposed tide & I think its snowmelt so be B cold! Cripes one guy was jumping hooked in...
souithern tip of bribie island in qld gets similar to that in a strong SE'r
7 knot outgoing tide and 25 knots from opposite direction. it's intense sailing even without the massive jumps.
Those Shadow Box gps must have a clever way of handling altitude.
As I understand it gps altitude readings are generally unreliable. The Navi readings certainly are. The Garmin cycling gps use a barometric doodad for altitude and they are are still considered unreliable by some.
SB records acceleration and attitude too and reports a bunch of derived data. I wonder if it uses some clever gps analysis or maybe it has an inertial recorder, a gyro or some such?
