11th August 2013 Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: wnw Wind Stength: 13/18 Surf / Sea State: flatish Air Temperature: 24 Sea Temperature: 16 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 23.90 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 20 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) After working four nights in a row I was keen to get out windsurfing but with the wind wnw at Felixstowe the longboard was the only option, so I was at The Dip just after midday and rigged big. It was a case of wobbling off the beach in a huge wind shadow and heading over to Bawdsey bay where the wind is sidehore to that beach and see how windy it was. Because the tise was nearly in there was not much shingle bank left so not much flat water and what there was was not where the wind was blowing,but I had great fun reaching broad out to sea and playing with the yachts.I then noticed that the large RLNI lifeboat was moored up at Felixstowe Ferry so sailed up the River Deben to see it, the sailing club had something on, I then carried right up the river and turned around Waldringfield Island and headed back to Felixstowe in winds thats were dropping.Back at the ferry they were having a duck race at Bawdsey Quay and hundreds of small yellow plastic ducks were being collected off the beach after a float along the river and then I watched the lifeboat speed off back to Harwich:) The last beat back to the dip is again a bit tricky in the gusty offshore wind but got back and had a nice chat with Roger Vickers recovering from having a new knee !!! hopefully the next time I see him he will be fit enough to windsurf !!! So a top few hours out in the sunshine :) |
