8th May 2005 Windsurfing: Port Lewaigue Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 25-35 knots Surf / Sea State: Choppy Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: After getting trashed by the mean shorebreak at Ballaugh I followed Neil on a mad race across the island to another launch spot. There was no way I would have launched from this spot on my own in these conditions, but it certainly looked pretty good out there so off we went. I ripped the pulley off my 5m as I was rigging, so ended up going out with my 4.5m instead, which was actually a blessing in disguise as the wind went ballistic. Just getting down to the beach through a narrow staircase was an adventure and I got pinned to the wall by a gust for a while. Then it was a launch off the rocks into deep water, followed by a swim upwind close to a big concrete wall which the waves were bouncing off to give us enough room to make a few tacks out around the rocks of the point. Once out beyond these rocks it was a matter of blasting out beyond the headland avoiding a big rock in the middle of the bay and playing on the chop out there. The wind was perfect for my 4.5m and with the sun shining it was a perfect session in a new location. I would liked to have seen the place at low tide before sailing there really as I found myself on top of some shallow rocks on a few of my failed gybes, but once the tide did drop off, a little sandy beach was exposed and things seemed a little less sketchy. |
