26th July 2009 Windsurfing: Levington Wind Direction: nw then se Wind Stength: V light to 15 Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: 20 Sea Temperature: 16 Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: 18.95 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 25 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) With only light offshore wind forecast I was not holding out much hope of getting out today :( but after breakfast at the cliff top and a walk to the ferry and with abit of a nw breeze and the tide still coming in I decided to go to Levington to sail to the Orwell bridge.I arrived at about 12.30 and because my favourite 9.4 is dead I had no option but to rig 8.5,so with gps,phone,camera and snacks I head up river on the slow beat in the sunshine.I made it to Pin mill and stopped on a pontoon out in the river for lunch and to watch a barge moor,taking several pics.Then on to the bridge where I took more pics right under the bridge !!! By this time the wind had gone very light making the run back slow going luckily the tide was now going out which was helping me .After an hour I had only made it back to Pin Mill and was completely becalmed when the wind swung around to se and increased :) I then beat to Felixstowe dock to see the huge container ships then back to the van,where the tide had dropped and I had to walk back through the mud !!! Still a great days sailing(over 5 hrs on the water) and you don't have to be planning to have a good time !!! Also Rob managed to get his kite going at the ferry for a 5 star session :) |
