Not a whole lot to report for today, There was no wind to begin with...So I borrowed a SUP board and just went for a SUP at Coros for something to do. You could see everything, the fish, the reef...on a quite day the water it is crystal clear, Your probably better off not knowing what your sailing over. Caught a couple of small wave on the SUP, A nice board from OES Australia. It was quite fun...wiped out heaps, its not as easy as it looks.
The wind picked up a little and I was bored so I rigged my 7.2 and fixed it to my 120 and went for a light wind cruise. I sailed out to where the waves were forming to catch a few rides and proceeded to do this for the next hour or so. Sailing with no wind was hard work and with the WA sun beating down on me I declared it a day.
As I drove back into town I swung by St Georges to see what was happening and noticed a few locals out....I could not help myself, I needed a fix. Once again I rigged the 7.2, 120 and went for a decent sail this time. A few learners were out, I did have a laugh on a few occasions...It brought back memories of me and where I was 2 years ago. Thank God I've gotten better, It's must have been entertaining for the guys back at the swamp when I started out.. This time around St Georges was the beach I remembered, flat water in close and some good chop out by the Chanel marker. Some nice runs and chop hops were the order of the day. Jumping was limited as the foot was causing some discomfort, It has some nice bruising and is quite swollen...might go and get it X-rayed just in case, don't think anything is broken though(fingers crossed).
The forecast has us down for no wind at all for Saturday and Sunday, What else does Geraldton have to offer...I don't know but I'll find out. We might go fishing or we could just park ourselves in the local and have a few brews and talk some shit...I'm sure we'll find something to fill in the next 2 days. Monday has the wind coming back with green arrows across the week, so some rest will be good as it looks like next week will be on.
