Hardest day ever had on speed board but alot of fun
. Another day road trip with Sam. Up at 4am got to Sam's place by 5.30 and arrived at Beachport by 9am. Not alot of wind but gave us time to catch up with the SA boys, Gaz from FNQ, Hardie from Mandurah Mob and some blow-ins from Vic - i think they maybe regular blow-ins
. Good to put some names to faces. We decided to launch from the spit and the others headed up the top near cockies point and launched from 5 mile drift and by the sound of it found some flat water and a nautical mile run. We fannied around for a while - well i rigged and it was Sams turn this time to fanny around - we make old woman look fast at doing things.
On the water with 6m Hotsails Gps, Isonic 50 and 24cm choco weedspeed. 1st run 39.6 on the screen. After this found it hard to generate pace. Others soon had 40 knots and it took a while and i managed a 40 knot screen. It was very hard work heading up wind in the chop to try and get in a good spot to head down the speed run at the spit. Most guys on 5.0, 5.5's or 5.8's so i was happy to hold onto 6m but at times was either fully loaded or underdone. Can't wait to get my 5.5. Another great road trip Sam and well done on some great speeds.
Alot of 40's coming out of today and well done on some great speeds for a hard choppy day - BRING ON THE WEED AND FLAT WATER
