I treated myself to a new gopro session, so here's my obligatory amateur editing to inflict on everyone!

And you views on the GoPro Session.
Did it replace something?
Although I've used older hero 2 and 3, I haven't owned one before - couldn't justify the $$$. Someone gave me an anaconda voucher so I used it to buy the session.
For what I need the session does the job. Push the one and only button, it powers on and starts recording. Push it again it stops. No messing about, no fogging in external case cos it doesn't need one. It's also much smaller which is good. The picture seems quite good even in the overcast conditions.
The only major downside is the internal battery, when it gives up I'll have to bin the whole unit. I figure by then I'll be bored with it anyway or there will be new shiny toys to buy.

How deep is the water there Col?
Not deep enough for your 86 litre board 
although there were some deeper channels ploughed after you went past. I was running a 32cm weed fin and scraping the mud on the bottom for most of the runs - managed to scrape it up to 29kts 
When you feel the fin start dragging in the shallow bits, more power in the sail and push through it. The weed fin should get over it.
If you lose speed and stop it's a long walk in the muddy bottom to deeper channels. Don't gybe in the shallow bits coz it's hard to get going again - there's a subtle change in the size of the chop ripples that tells you it's slightly deeper 
Anything with North in it - N, NW, NE and( NS )
Booties and weed fins are essential

Actually sailable in any direction but anything with south in it really needs to fill in...best direction is west/north west.
