First real session for Nebs down at Hardies Yesterday
Full House of PB'shttp://gpsteamchallenge.com.au/showsession.php?date=2007-12-28&team=1
The Neb's Dance is a beautiful thing to behold
Well Done!!!
well done to all the guys who sailed at hardies yesterday,even though the forecast didn't quite eventuate i think most of the guys got at least 1 pb! yet again hardies turns on the pb's.
well done to 25 as well coming in to form at just the right time!
Well done Nebs and Pointman. Getting a full book is f....n huge
Now of course getting a full book brings into play rule # 1044, You both do know the rules on this?. If you dont, then its double up.
You have to shout the BBQ (1 can per man/woman perhaps)at the next GPS SPEED RUN MEET at Hardies.
Elmo, you did tell them,,,,,,, didn’t you?
Now I know why WSPW jumped down a couple notches on us (Pinna's)
Big thanks to Elmo and Nebb's for showing me where to sail at Hardies with the appropriate warnings.
I was busy following Nebb's on a run East between the white sticks and started to slow.
He had a 21cm weedie and I though mine was similar but I came to a shuddering halt and blew a harness line. Masses and masses of weed, I missed the channel just.
Long walk out and got stung on the foot by something Elmo called a devil-fish, I'll say.
Made putting the foot back in the strap a little difficult.
It was pretty cool seeing these two (non windsurfing) blokes out crabbing and we were sailing INSIDE of them sailing past at mega knots, they did not seemed concerned at all, maybe all the locals are into weed
Looks like you guys had a great day down there. well don on all the PBs
Elmo, hows the back leg after the NM PB you do it on that JP board you showed me last time I was there?
And whats a devil fish, is that a cobbler? (the one that kissed Graceman)[}:)]
Quote of the day:
"You guys were absolutely FLYING, we were having a barbecue at home watching you"
- An elderly lady going for a walk at the end of the session
Graceman:
From the launch, sail upwind till you see the two white sticks line up with each other, count to ten, then blast downwind, staying about 10 metres upwind of those sticks.
If you feel some weed slowing you down, grit your teeth and sheet in
So who was it that told me to sail between the sticks?
Or was that avoid the sticks or gybe around the sticks
I think I have age related dementia
Here is the little Bas..d or its cousin
Foot still sore
Congratulations to all on the PB's.
39 is right up there Pete!
Excellent Alpha from Snides as well... Smokin'!!!!
A great day for many in great and friendly company - great efforts all round!
It was great fun - we'll do it again tomorrow Elmo.
I've extracted and re-posted with the navi track, some ups and some downs, particulary the 2 sec.
Oh well maybe tyomorrow!!
See you mid arvo Sunday Elmo et al!!
can someone paste a pic of Hardies? am really curious what it looks like...so this is what nebs has been doin' all month long in search of serious congrats my side
Here ya go jp:
The run is parallel with the shore, about 500 metres out. Very weedy, quite shallow, very very fast
wow mates..nice spot for a dip and a fast sail..very flat i'd say...i'd expect you to break again your pb's? you think soprovided the wind packs a bit morethis place with weeds seems to have the feel like the one in Amsterdam where the guys do their own speedruns...regards and thanks nebs and snides
