19th August 2010 Windsurfing: Rutland Wind Direction: ssw Wind Stength: F4-6 Surf / Sea State: Chop to small waves Air Temperature: Nice Sea Temperature: OK Weather: Fair with a bit of sun Max Speed: Distance Covered: If you turn up & it's sunny, warm, obviously windy & everybody's saying how good it is then you must be a miserable bastard if you think it's gusty shite. That's me, that is - a miserable bastard. It was gusty shite. Started with a 5.5 and felt overpowered on t'other side so after persevering a short while came in for a 5.0. That was lovely some of the time but at others left me wallowing whilst hanging on to a twitchy sail awaiting the next blow. It was a lot of hard work & the knee complained a lot from being braced when it was the front one. Considered using the Syncro as it would deal with the holes better but really couln't be arsed. When I packed up I found the 5.5 had been short of downhaul - maybe had I gave it a bit more, maybe had I tried the Syncro....it would still have been gusty shite. I only stopped sailing at Wells a few weeks back in 4.5 weather because I was shagged, I only stopped sailing there in 6.5 weather last week 'cos the water ran out. I stopped sailing today because I couldn't raise the enthusiasm. Gusty shite! |
