For a forecast that had only light wind predicted the day ended up pretty sweet, We started the day by going to the Batavia Coast Dive Academy and buying some snorkeling gear...We assumed there would be not much else to do today. We went down to the foreshore and went snorkeling around the rocks for a while, It was cool...Might have to look into some diving lessons.
After our morning swim we went to the Geraldton museum to fill in some time...It's been some time since I've done anything educational, my brain kind of hurt. It was actually ok, the ship wreck exhibition was good and kept me interested.
Back to the cottage and time to watch some more windsurfing DVDs, Tricktionay this time...Thanks to Akim for the lend, Most of the tricks in these DVDs are beyond me at this stage but there is still some handy stuff to know.
The movies were over and it was time to do something productive, clean out the van I thought. This lasted all of 2 seconds after I went out side and could see the trees...The southerly was coming. We jumped in the car and went straight for St Georges beach...It was good enough to sail. I rigged my 8.5 Helium and went out on my 120, I was planning within seconds...The Helium is hard work so it wasn't long before I came in and changed down to my 7.2.
The next couple of hours were magic, screaming back and forth, The odd chop hop here and there...It was a good sail. Even got some video...Not the best footage but I'll work on it.
Anyway enjoy the video....Coronations tomorrow and 20-25 knots, should be good.
