Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: ene Wind Stength: 10/20 Surf / Sea State: choppy Air Temperature: 16 Sea Temperature: 10 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 22.55 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 26 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
With no wind forecast for today I was not holding out much hope of a sail
:( but the tree in the garden was moving well mid afternoon :) So after the
school run I took the gear to the Dip to see Andy Mexome out with 7m on his
short board but with the wind dropping and wanting to try his new XR Race
9.5 on his raceboard ,I followed suit and rigged the 9.4 and took out my
cat.The wind had gone pretty light and the beat was okay but the reaches
were slow even if Andy was going much better on his new Starboard Raceboard
!!! We followed each other around for abit until I got fed up with Andy
sailing faster so I had a trip up to Felixstowe FSC and then had some good
reaches and beats in Bawdsey bay where I met the seal again !!! Then the
wind filled in and I had some good reaches to the peir and the beat back
was good with the 20 mph winds and choppy high tide sea making it good
fun.One last trip up the Deben and a couple of flat out reaches back to The
Dip to find David Coles just packing his Formula kit away.So a good two and
a half hours out and more wind for the next couple of days :)
