14 July 2013 - Full car tour, dodgy Brighton northerly
James and I headed to Frankston then on to Mornington looking for a good onshore breeze. The bay monster had struck again and was eating the northerly in the middle of the bay. We droze back up to Brighton and headed out, a reminder of just how gusty the northerly can be at the top of the bay. It seemed to go from 15 to 30 knots, got pretty yanked a couple of times.
Only 4 folks out, but some idiot still decided he wanted to do a trick just as he was passing me coming the other way. We were a fair way out, he stuffed up the trick and I had to take major evasive action, yanked off my board and had a swim for a little while. I had a chat to him afterwards and told him what had happened, he seemed largely oblivious. Hurt my rib in the evasive action - looks like another 3 weeks of pain.
Hit something solid twice with my board... no idea what but it definitely wasn't a rock. Whatever it was probably has a fair headache now.
