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.

Hey Greg,

Was a fun session at Trail Bay. You were doing well- just keep going in any wind (6 knots and up), and keep trying to refine all those skills like waterstarts, straps, harness, tacks and gybes. I can attest to it being tough going for that first year, but after that it will be on-wards and up-wards!

Weekend is looking mental, but no good for me, gotta work both days...

Catch ya

Got out Saturday on the lake, but only 8-14 knots max- still good to get wet. Got Friday off, so hitting Queens if the wind comes in early.Will join ya one day up Urunga for a change of scenary.
