Distance Covered:

Fist time sailing here despite visiting a couple of times before. Kelvin was out on a 5.3 and I was about to rig a 5m when a couple of other people turned up and were rigging 5.8's so I went with my 5.6 instead.

Well powered up from the start and a little overpowered out the back but I was having fun on the swell out the back. It's quite a nice place to sail as it is mainly flat water but now and then some swell rolls into the bay and breaks allowing for some jumping or wave-riding but without the white-water everywhere that I'm used to.

The wind then picked up and I was completely overpowered an unable to even get on the board so ended up downwind a little and on the rocks. I walked back and had a few more goes but the wind was now too strong most of the time and it was getting late so Kelvin and I packed up.

I would have been better off on the 5m afterall. Good to get out somewhere new though.
