30th July 2023

Sunday 30th July - Windsurf **** River Orwell at Levington - sunny
periods.
Foil - 20.14 knot max, 18.74 knot ave, 14.14 knot hour, 18.15 knot mile,
51.98 km., 15.75 knot alpha.
Starboard Freeride 150 and a Evolution Freeride foil with a Naish Nalu
4.75.
Headed down to Levington fairly early to get out before high tide at 10.09
dropping off Mag at Trimley for her walk, she is picking up Maeva for the
day too:) I arrived at the marina with plenty of water in the water and
plenty of wind, cross on from the right so I quickly set up the foil board
and with wind gusting to 22 mph with more in the middle I rigged 4.75 which
proved correct for most of the near three hour session:) I set off at 9.15
and thought I had rrigged too small but found the wind on the far side of
the river, with the wind WSW I thought I would stay on the corner where the
wind would be strongest and was pleasantely surprised that you could sail
down the river to Felixstowe docks, not bad with such a small sail:) The
runs were the best part of two miles in pretty smooth water too, just me in
the sunshine blasting by a few yachts with terns diving for fish, just
lovely! Nothing super fast today as my dodgy knees don?t like being pushed
too hard but I was pleased to get an 18 knot mile with some nice gybing
too. July has been a good month for windsurfing with 13 sessions with
probably another one tomorrow!
After three hours on the water and with the tide dropping the wind went
patchy so I called it a day, pack-up, shower and home by 1.15 for an
afternoon with lovely Maeva:)
