27th August on

A great day out at new golden we both set sail with 4.4m then opted for 5/5.3m sails and got some jumps out the back and both saw a lone sea turtle popping it’s head out of the water (approximately 1m in length)

Headed to Poundta beach out on 6/6.2m + 110/103L with our Greek friend Zanetos.  Mat and I were trying duck gybes all day with each getting some spectacular crashes but no success on completing the move.

Not much wind today but headed to Poundta and rigged 7.5m / 128L, the wind died even more so the 9.4m  came out again (Thanks again Mike) and was going along nicely powered up.  In the end I was managing to stay dry on every carve gybe so I started to try ducking this beast ( you can guess that I had no success – good fun trying though).
Mat must have been really bored this day as he took the photos below plus many more of Parikia and a very impressive sail boat that was gigantic.
