The Neb's Dance is a beautiful thing to behold


Well Done!!!

well done to all the guys who sailed at hardies yesterday,even though the forecast didn't quite eventuate i think most of the guys got at least 1 pb! yet again hardies turns on the pb's.
well done to 25 as well coming in to form at just the right time!

Big thanks to Elmo and Nebb's for showing me where to sail at Hardies with the appropriate warnings.
I was busy following Nebb's on a run East between the white sticks and started to slow.
He had a 21cm weedie and I though mine was similar but I came to a shuddering halt and blew a harness line. Masses and masses of weed, I missed the channel just.
Long walk out and got stung on the foot by something Elmo called a devil-fish, I'll say.
Made putting the foot back in the strap a little difficult.

It was pretty cool seeing these two (non windsurfing) blokes out crabbing and we were sailing INSIDE of them sailing past at mega knots, they did not seemed concerned at all, maybe all the locals are into weed

Looks like you guys had a great day down there. well don on all the PBs

Elmo, hows the back leg after the NM PB you do it on that JP board you showed me last time I was there?
And whats a devil fish, is that a cobbler? (the one that kissed Graceman)[}:)]

Yep did the Nm on my last couple of runs with the JP, had run the Windtech up till the last 3 runs where I finally got the courage up to sail through where the Hardyman goes through (50m inside the white posts), nice straight long run on flat water all the way

Devil fish is a tiny fish which hides in the weeds (what doesn't down here) which has some poisonous spines, unlike the coblers the pain is not quite as intense and only lasts about an hour.

Congratulations to all on the PB's.
39 is right up there Pete!
Excellent Alpha from Snides as well... Smokin'!!!!

A great day for many in great and friendly company - great efforts all round!
It was great fun - we'll do it again tomorrow Elmo.
I've extracted and re-posted with the navi track, some ups and some downs, particulary the 2 sec.
Oh well maybe tyomorrow!!
See you mid arvo Sunday Elmo et al!!

i took some head cam footage yesterday of hardies,the file sizes are massive so i am not sure how to go about putting the vid up some where...any advice?

wow mates..nice spot for a dip and a fast sail..very flat i'd say...i'd expect you to break again your pb's? you think soprovided the wind packs a bit morethis place with weeds seems to have the feel like the one in Amsterdam where the guys do their own speedruns...regards and thanks nebs and snides
