Windsurfing: Overcombe,weymouth Wind Direction: sw Wind Stength: F4-6 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
After a 12hr night shift picked up the missus & kids & headed for
Overcombe,arrived at 9am with tide in so dead flat & what looked like a
light f4 off shore, but not a cloud in sight :) so popped into weymouth
for some breakfast.car park still empty when we went back Johno had
arrived.the wind had increased with lots of white caps about so i rigged
new 5.7 Rock & Goya , this was fine for a while but wind had afew holes &
was up & down so changed up to 103lt flow this was spot on for a while,
wind steadliy increased through the day so swapped back to Goya & as the
tide dropped some nice waves formed for both jumping & riding.
By 3.30pm i was well overpowered with most people on 5m'ish, Now have
been up for 26hrs .worked for 12 windsurfed for nearly 5hrs & Bang mast
snaps quite a way out :( leaving me with a swim, thanks to Johno for
attemping a tow, worked for a bit. I was surprised only 1 other sailer
asked if i was alright out of about 40 with some sailing Real close & 1 guy
jumping over my rig (dunno if he could see me as in shoulder high
waves,)
Could have rigged my 5.0 but had no energy left.
Highlight of the day getting 3 fast'ish bottom & top turns in on head high
wave,
After replacing trashed 5.7 last week credit card will be purchasing
another mastnext week....
