24th August 2010 Windsurfing: Levington Wind Direction: wsw Wind Stength: 15/20 Surf / Sea State: river chop :( Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: 17 Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: 27.91 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 18 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) As we only had three children to look after today I was able to get off windsurfing :) As the wind was wsw which is off at Felixstowe I went to Levington which had a mid-day high tide which was supposed to coincide with the strongest wind.With wind gusting to 20 mph I tried the Falcon 90 with the x 15 7m and was on the water by 10 :) but the wind was very up and down and the river very lumpy and I was having trouble keeping upwind :( So sadly I had to switch to the Xantos which was better and I made it to the smooth water on the far bank but this was also the area with least wind !!! I had a few runs down towards Felixstowe docks but got fed up with the chop and gave up at 12.30 just as the tide had turned and the wind increased !!! So I probably sailed the worst part of the day with the lightest wind and with the tide high the choppest water :( So even with all this wind I could'nt find any flatwater !!! Abit of a waste of a windy day :( |
