23rd April 2017 Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: s Wind Stength: 10/14 Surf / Sea State: lumpy Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: 16.52 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 13.50 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Sunday 23rd April – Windsurf **** - Landguard to East Lane Martello – sunny periods After a top bike ride, earlier I checked out The Dip, David Coles and Nick Icke were there and it looked OK for big kit especially with the sun out, I was keen to get out as the weather is getting cold again next week and we are off South to visit our son and very pregnant partner Hannah:) Typical of formula sailors who like to sit on the beach and chat about it! As it was 3.30 we needed to get on the water while it was still warm so we all rigged big, I went with 9.4 on the longboard while David and Nick went for 11.5m ! I was first on the water at 4 sailing straight into Mark Swain out in a cat with his son Ed having fun. I turned right and beat along the coast with Mark getting his racing head on, keen to beat me along Felixstowe seafront, which they did! The onshore breeze was a fraction under but the beat was good railed up all the way to Landguard where Al Wiz was out on a shortboard going OK:) I turned and reached 6.50 miles all the way to East Lane Martello using the waves to slow plane. It got rough by the tower and my hands were getting cold so I returned to the van to warm up. I was out an hour and a half covering 25km, the formula pair also had fun, with the main topic of conversation being the latest craze, foil windsurfing. The feeling is we would like to give it a try but foils are just too expensive! A top action packed day:) Photo Gallery Here |
