Jan 22nd Bass Strait Training

Finally got to do a long down winder... from Mt Martha to Port Melbourne. It took 3 hours with a tricky start; kite down; lines tangled; lost board; visit from a seal, but once I got going it was a great run. Took a while to navigate around Mentone as I didnt go wide enough from Mordialloc... must admit that had something to do with not wanting to be out too far alone after the last downwinder when I was accompanied by police helicopter, police boat and the 5 and half meter shark.
