24th May 2008 Windsurfing: Poole - Hamworthy Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: F5-6 Surf / Sea State: 2' Air Temperature: OK Sea Temperature: OK Weather: Sun and Cloud Max Speed: 34mph (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 27 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) First morning on our week in Poole. And it is windy. The kids are happy enough watching a few films and I've got a couple of hours spare. I've never sailed from Hamworthy before and it looks totally flat and fast. The locals said it was 7 to 7-5, so I rig 6-5. I sail straight over to Brownsea island and beach next to a flowering rhodedendron. Nice but overpowered totally. SO I go back and go straight down to 5-2. No messing. Back out and I have a good play around. The local sport seems to be go back and forth as fast as you can. The only run in I had was falling in on one gybe and waterstarting away I failed to see a sailor come very close downwind. She was scared as hec when I up and sailed away. I think she'd not seen me either! I guess round here anything less than 10 yrds away is a near miss. At Brog it is 1' for sure! |
