23rd November 2009 Windsurfing: Rutland Wind Direction: SW then W Wind Stength: F4 - F7 Surf / Sea State: Flat then swell & chop Air Temperature: 12 then 8 Sea Temperature: Getting cooler but o Weather: Sunny & squalls Max Speed: Distance Covered: It just filled in nicely to SW 6.5 weather past the tower - had a bit of really nice burn & turn, just me and one other out. Loadsa room! Then it started picking up so headed in & got back just in time as the wind really ramped up. Decided to rig a 5.5 - in the car park & rigging area it didn't feel too windy and after having my chop-ometer recalibrated by more sea sailing the water showed few clues to me. Shoulda realised when I struggled to carry the 103/5.5 to the water that maybe my kit was too big. Nevertheless I launched & after barely a few hundred metres decide I'd be happier ashore. Back at the shore I really struggled to carry the kit! The wind had swung - on forecast - westerly and a rolling swell had developed along with a shorebreak. Seriously windy! A good opportunity to try the new 4.0 but the temp had dropped & I was feeling cold so a hot shower was more appealing. After a strenuous Saturday and all Sunday on the water the 6.5 blasting was nice - fighting 4.0m weather wasn't required! |
