For the second Wednesday in a row some wind was forecast as it didn't show last week I wasn't holding my breath this week!!! I had three options today Southend,Point Clear and Levington - I didn't think the forecast was up to travelling so went local. I arrived at Levington at low water and rain which had killed the wind :( After waiting for the rain to stop I then rigged 8.5 and went out on the longboard as the wind seemed to up and down for a shortboard which proved right. I tried a couple of runs down towards Felixstowe docks but the wind was too light here so then beat up to Pin Mill where all the best wind was. I had some nice broad runs back doing nice planning gybes but the river was very bumpy :( I had a snack break and sailed to Pin Mill again, the beat was ok but the reach back was slow with the wind dropping! I then gave up just as Mag arrived on her bike so we had a cuppa and read our books:)
