We sat around most of the morning waiting for wind, This season has been nothing like I've experienced in my previous trips. The forecast looks very dodgy for the rest of the week with only 2 real solid days the rest look a bit hit and miss.
Out of boredom we went for a drive to St Georges to have a look, The wind was SE and quite off shore but Pete decided to rig and have a go. He slogged out and once past the wind shadow found himself off and going with out much of a problem. Pete sailed for a bit longer before he came in and took up position in the shade of the trees with the rest of us.
The wind started to switch and was SSE, We started to get our gear out of the car and rig. Scotty got a call from Barn who told us Coronation was starting to fire, We quickly threw our kit in to the cars and headed out to Coronation beach.
Most of us were on our smallest kit, It was windy but at times I could have done with a half meter more but it was still good. My first run out was cool I hit a wave and flew, Managed to land nose first and come out of it fully planing. Gybed onto the second wave and caught a sweet ride, I was having a ball. With all the other guys around you It was awesome fun and pushed you to try some things you probably would not normally try.
No forwards for me but some sweet jumps, Scotty was pulling a few forwards and trying some other moves that I don't know the name of. Pete went for a back loop but didn't get the landing but credit to him for giving it a go.
We had some big stacks, Stuffed some gybes and damaged some kit but It's one of the best days sailing I've had in a long time. We finished off the night with a few beers and quite a bit of bullshit, Most of us hurt but we went to bed wishing for more of the same tomorrow.
