Thanks to some rig setup tips by Phil at SWR (I was wrecked but had a good friday thanks mate) and a bruising splash fest near trial bay gaol practicing water starts and a new tack technique, really testing my balance in choppy water; I spent Saturday learning to use the harness with my new setup in reasonable 15-20KM winds on Kalang river near mylsetom.

I now feel comfortable and confident using harness so I'm really looking forward to getting planing next weekend if wind prediction comes to fruition.
