I got out at coal point lake maquarie Saturday afternoon on some wave gear. slalom gear would have been not much fun but the bump and jump gear was nice. The wind was shifting 90 degrees between SE and SW and throw in some horizontal pelting rain and a couple of times I could really only tell the wind was on my left but not much clue to the exact direction. It was bloody cold too. I muffed a couple of gybes when I went to transition I was to bloody stiff to move properly lol. I need a new wetty I think.

Conditions were wet cold and horrible and the wind was all over the place but it beats the absolute **** out of not sailing. But still, the southerly was a little disappointing up on the lake this time.


Would have been choppy off Coal!

Whyner, nice to meet you at Windang on Sat. I a bit unsure whether to go out on my own. Looks like you scored on your 'next' sail as posted above. First time for me at Windang, it was obviously not the right direction or ideal conditions.

I had to go back to the Southern Highlands but at least I know where to head now for future trips when Windang is not quite right.

Hi Tom, you did we'll heading out windang by yourself, especially when that huge strike of lightening hit about 1 km from your mast. I nearly packed up after seeing that! I caught a couple of ok ones out windang but the other spot was definatly better. It's hard to get it good waves out there though. Most are full, some line up but sometimes you get a good one.

I'd actually forgotten about that lightning! Hope I can get some decent use of the 5.1
before it gets wrecked, preferably not toasted!!!!
