Distance Covered:

Nice little sesiion in the Estuary and probably the only chance of a session in the easter hols so gave it a go.

Took out the race board and 9.0m. As it was a very big tide there was plenty of clearance for the 58cm fin.

After a bit of slogging around I got a few good runs in lightly planning and then a few more runs at a decent speed. At the end of these I'd sped over into the main channel and as the tide was turning found it difficult to get back up wind. I had the surf down the faces of the small waves coming out of the channel to get around the point followed by a little walk to get past the strongest section of current by the point then slowly made it back accross the the Ynyslas side.

Met BEFS when I came back in, I'd seen him flying the kite over buy the point whilst I was out.

Good fun though and good weather with sunny spells. Better than at home where it was wet all day ;-)
