2022 06 25 - Seaford triathalon

Met James and Pete at Seaford - but wind wasn't fantastic so James pulled the pin.  I went out on the nugget first up, had a good time until the wind dropped to zero.  Had to float in for about 2kms.  Upon arriving on shore, the wind picked up again, which let me tack all the way back to Seaford from somewhere almost to Frankston.  Wind picked up enough to jump onto the twin tip for the last 40 mins.  Saw grey shapes in the water then dolphins jumping around.  Pretty amazing.

Also amazing that people were swimming as if it were summer.  Bananas !

Was out for the first time in my new 4:3 - wow what a difference.  Massive fan.

2023 10 01 - Seaford - blown off the water

 Headed out with James for the first kite of the daylight savings season.  And what a cracker.  What looked to be a little over 20 knots soon turned out to be quite a bit more.  We put kites up and I was somewhat surprised that James headed straight downwind.  Once I was on the water it was clear that the wind was quite a bit stronger than we thought.  Got some massive massive air, thought about pulling a loop coming down but worried I would end up in the dunes.  After 30 mins it got to the point where I could barely hold the kite down.  James pulled safety so we put kites down happy to have got through the session.
