....or do others let their addiction get slightly out of control this time of year?

Heading out when there's clearly not enough wind.
Buying equipment.
Spending too much time on seabreeze.
Destroying equipment.
Constantly checking Meteye for wind.

Obsession =====>Excellence unless that obsession involves UFOs in which case its a problem.


Though Monty does think he is part bird, part fish, part man, which does suggest some degree of delusion even with a healthy obsession.

Check to all the above

- 2 out of the last 3 times I rigged I didn't get off the shore for lack of wind.
- Broke a batten the 3rd (on the shore)
- 2 new sails on the way
- just checked the forecast again
- ummm currently on seabreeze, till I check the BOM

I did go for a quick SUP earlier

Should be cutting the lawn etc etc

Lots of dark green on Meteye later in the week. Can be a good dad for the next couple of days and rack up some brownie points. Fanatic Falcon arrived today (thanks Andrew) so should get it wet on Friday. Replacement sail should get a spin as well.

Trying to ignore going back to work next week.

Great sails too. I have a Loft and love it. Such great quality in the build. Handles an awesome wind range and really well made.
