Sunny Evening Seabreeze

Just came in from a nice evening sail. The wind was up and down so I took out my 98litre flare and 5.3 blade. The breeze kicked in and there was plenty of it. The water temperature was lovely too and I only needed shorts and my mystic rashvest. The wind came in patches and then dissapered for a while which allowed me to practise my heli tacks which I was getting every time on both tacks which I was pleased about. I'm in the process of learning vulcans too, I can get the rotations some times howver I havent sailed away from one yet, though I do feel I am getting closer every time I go out.

Vulcan!

Have been getting some good freestyle sessions in at the Burrow. I also got some good vulcan rotations and now I am just trying to crack sailing properly away switch stance. My new Chinook Pro-1 boom has really helped! I also got some flatwater loops in, so now going to go for some doubles.. haha! I also got out at dollymount with a seabreeze, mikey and I were out on 5.0's and trying to get some loops, but the waves were only on the shallow part so it was a bit skechy. Tomorrow looks good for freestyle at the burrow again.
