Windsurfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: SE Wind Stength: 15-22 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: 8ºC Sea Temperature: 8ºC Weather: Rain Max Speed: 26.6 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 20.0 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Wind was really gusty but looked pretty good in the gusts, so couldn't
quite decide netween the new 6.7m sail or the new 5.7m sail. Went with the
5.7m in the end for the gusts.
AndyW was out as well and to start we we had some nicely powered up runs
over this side of the estuary, but with the small tides there wasn't a lot
of room. We could see a couple of people out from Aberdovey side so we
decided to work our way downwind and see what it was like over there. As it
turned out, it was Daz amd Mark out, but they were on bigger kit than us,
and if anything the wind was lighter on that side of the estuary. We stayed
pver there anyway as there was more room, but the windiest bit seemd to be
on the Ynyslas side so that was where the best action happened. I should
really have rigged the 6.7m as that would have kept me going through the
lulls.. What I really needed was a bigger board! All in all it was a pretty
good sail anyway, if a little chilly!
