15th September 2013
Windsurfing: Felixstowe-Fludyers
Wind Direction: WSW
Wind Stength: strong then more
Surf / Sea State: chop and smoother
Air Temperature: 15
Sea Temperature: 17
Weather: cloud
Max Speed: 23.9/2secs (knots - unless stated otherwise)
Distance Covered: 42.7 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)

Fludyers looked good but no one there so looked at Dip. Someone struggling in big wind shadow. Ian and Rog not rigged so we went to Fludyers. Also suggested to girlie and boy friend they join us (sorry forgot names). Used 85l then 5.2/4.7/4.2m as wind gradually increased.
Choppy to start but as tide neared low sea got smoother. Al, Phil, Ian, Andy Marsh, Strawb,Mark D also out; Rog rested his knee for another day. A slim Paul V preferred to walk a fluffy little dog (eh?). Great fun, testing conditions sometimes with a few blown out gybes and some cracking ones on the outside. Strawb was flying on his old kit.
A Spitfire came and did a fantastic display above us, a bit surreal and scared the beejabers as it first flew up behind me; thrilling to be sailing maxed out with a Spitfire looping above.
