Camera was fine, it was the Teletubby bobble head that was the problem
Just had a look at the strip a few minutes ago. The tide is out and I am pretty sure I can see Donald Trump playing a round of golf.
Grooving in the smoothe at Fangys.
Apologies for the wobbley camera.
What direction was the wind Roger? Great conditions. How long were the runs and sail size?

Wind was SSW, I dont think there is quite a nauti in the weed just yet, as the weed does not quite extend far enough west just yet....I think we will get more growth for the next month or two. Last year the weed peaked in early December, but then we had a unseasonal low push through which dislodged the western end of the bank.
Damn that Water is SMOOTH!!!!
And loads of FUNNNNNN. But it's no where near as nice at high tide
I was on a 6.3 and 92SL Dave and later on the 115 as i couldnt be bothered to change sail. Should have been on a 7 and 100. Had a great time though, nice and cruisy. Pitty i dont have the choice of boards you do though. Ive only got 8.

No worries, are you coming out of hibernation soon Bob.
Not sure if it's bigger Sue. I have marked a nautical mile for comparison. Last season this run was close to weedy smooth all the way.
Not a lot of difference then. But Fangys just may have a slight edge, depending how good the weed is.
Just out of interest and by way of comparison: the 'bigness' of Boombas on the SE corner of the Peel Estuary and its nautical mile runs; (Fangys is up out of frame, but on the NE corner of the same body of water)
And the beautiful Lilacs, Albany.

Home next week but every day south is colder, still hibernating

WOW...Still swooning from experiencing that part of the golf course at Xmas time earlier this year. It realy was a magic carpet ride and great bunch of pin heads to enjoy it with .
Come back Billy, we almost,sorta ,maybe, well not really, miss you
Another Xmas with the relations and some magic carpet rides. What's not to like?
Since we're baring our naughty's, here's Glory Holes (Australind)
And at GH you can string a few NMs end on end. This on a westerly. Across is just under a NM or just over if its a southerly

Problem with Budgy is getting the wind from the right direction to get long runs.Winter westerlies are good but generally puffy..NE's you get a lot of gybe practise..
I love W- WSW but we don't get them very often.

Cant see the 'problem' Sue.
You have it. It is very flat. It is in your backyard. It gets windy many times a year. It is safe. What is there not great about that?

Yeah I suppose "problem' wasn't a good choice of word..
How deep would it be in that video?
I would guess about 0.7m on average Sue, with a range of 0.5->1m. And don't worry about Sailquik, he doesn't understand the cumulative stress of having a perfectly flat nautical mile of water in your backyard and not being able to sail it everyday. Perhaps if we re-name the run at Sandy Point, to something like 'Garmins' , he would understand the feeling of stress we face everyday.

Wow that depth would be great! You could use decent size fins..
Except, you'd be going slow!
The less fin in the water and the more raked the better. That weed can get very thick and very close to the surface.
