With the south coast getting most of the wind i decided on an afternoon sail at overcombe,& the family could occupy them selfs in the town.Arrived with 20ish knts bang onshore,rigged 5.7m & a new (to me) Goya FW 86lt, this combo was fine but as i made ground up wind towards the town end the wind was much stronger & had to flatten off the 5.7, could ave got away with the 5.0m.
the wind was more cross on up here with some little waves coming in,waist sometimes chest high, making for some nice jumps.Downwind runs along the shoreline in the waves were real fun, though this board dosnt feel as fast as the older Goya but was quicker onto the plane.
a nice sail, nothing manic, no rain, just good fun....
followed by fish & chips from 1 of the better chips in weymouth.fingers crossed for west coast action on monday?
