What's the race committee's thoughts on a possible western inlet race course due to the wind direction ?

Got 5 races in then the wind dropped right out. Was very light at the start end of each race but somehow Izaak seem to get up planning in nothing. The other end of the course was blowing really nicely. So flea weights had the advantage yesterday. Was great fun & great to get out racing again. Don't know results, gather lads will post them soon.
This morning it's about 1 kt & pouring and I'm heading home. Got family commitments back at home.

Thanks for collating the results. Not much wind at the moment, so they may end up being the final slalom results for the season!

Can you collate those results with the GPS results to get the overall.

Wow what a night that was so much fun. Only got one word for Stewy Mckay..... Respect!!
He polished off a bottle of his homemade whiskey, disrupted the AGM, entertained us all night, ripped into a bit of acrobats for the locals in the toilet, asked a Smithon nurse politely if his eyesight was still OK then finished off at midnight preparing us a delicious vegetarian omlette....... how good is that

Johnno have you got the photo of the omelette?if you post it we could win the next Master Chef Competition

It was a great weekend with some sailing on every day, while last year we had fantastic easterlies this year it was a fickle westerly. It was lots of fun trying Slalom racing for the first time, apologies to those I may have nearly run into ( and to those I did collect) I put that down to inexperience and my inability to find the footstraps on Geoffs board. I don't have any photos from Saturday but here a few from our sesh in the west inlet on Sunday and Port Sorell on Monday.
















All the blue sails are Gillian and the red sail is Paul.

Thanks Anthony,
It's great to see that after thirty years of windsurfing I have finally got a few photos in seebreeze.
I commend you for being able to articulate and summarize my long list of achievements in such a humbling fashion. I'm not sure that I really deserve all the accolades, however I'll do my best to fly the flag and represent the sport we all love, as best I can !!

Always your servant
Stew
