I see someone is blaming me for killing the wind... :)

Well, I also forgot my wetsuit, having left it on the board on the roof to dry after the day before, and drove off with it still there... Luckily I had a summer suit in the car too, which was more appropriate in the sun anyway! Had visions of the other suit being on the A14 somewhere, but luckily it had fallen off just outside work and I got it back... phew.

So, the windsurfing... The wind did indeed drop as I got there, as it swung more offshore. Had a quick "this isn't going to be good" conversation with Phill, but it had to be done anyway. Had no choice but to use the Evo 74 (not at all ideal) with a 5.4m (absolutely ideal). Planing the whole time though (with some good pumping in the inside lulls!).

Only sailed for 20mins or so, as it really wasn't very inspiring. Well worth getting wet in the sun though, so some stars for that alone.
