5sqm @ Bronkies

Sunday was awesome, I've never seen wind like that at Bronkies before. Saturday night we were camping outside Gabi's cabin because we couldn't find the key. At 10:30am there wasn't a leaf moving, by 11:00am it was close on 20knots and at around 3pm we were getting our butts kicked in 30knots. There's definitely a pattern emerging there, the big days are usually quiet in the morning.

I put my new top speed on the GPS, taking me over the 30knots mark, 30.36knots (56.2km/h) and the first time I've sailed a 5.7sqm sail at Bronkies.

My pictures(below) came out quite badly, so I'm going to include a few of Malcolm's photos. There are a few more in the photo gallery at http://www.windsurfingafrica.org

Although most of us had at least one wipe-out like that, unfortunately for Jeremy he got caught on camera.

'Til the next windy day...
