Distance Covered:

Started at the Dip which was rubbish, and headed to the Manor end as an experiment...

Far far better wind-wise - a good clean, solid F5, very well powered on a fully downhauled 5.4m at all times, no blobbing required.

Much choppier sea than the Dip, and none of the nice rolling swell that was at the Dip earlier, but some very nice ramps if you wanted to get airbourne. Nice sandy launch too, with no shorebreak.

Unfortunately just me out, so I sailed and watched a lovely sunset over the dock cranes, and stopped when some ominous looking black clouds appeared on the horizon.

So - sea state nicer at the Dip (apart from high-tide shorebreak), wind much nicer at the Manor. Good to know.
[sessions were literally 10mins apart as I'd only partly derigged]
