Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: wsw Wind Stength: 10/15 Surf / Sea State: slight Air Temperature: 15 Sea Temperature: 9 Weather: clouldy Max Speed: 20 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 32 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
With only light winds forecast it was a day for abit of longboard cruising
:) so after breakfast at The Dip,I set off on a beat towards the dock in
the cross off wsw.With a nice breeze I decided to cross the shipping
channel and head for Titchmarsh via Dovercourt.I sailed up the river
turning just short of the marina.There are some great flat water spots for
speed sailing around this area but access is'nt great and you would be best
dropped off by boat !!! I had some good reaches across from Stone Point
overtaking the racing dinghies from Walton on the Naze Yacht Club and then
started the long 9 mile reach back but sadly the wind dropped and it was
really slow going for an hour before the wind returned abit on the
Felixstowe side :) I stopped at The Fludgers for a word with some
windsurfer there (they did'nt have a great time as wind too light) and then
returned to The Dip some three and a half hours after starting !!! So long
boards are great they just get you on the water so much more :)
