My 5th session in a row !!! :) been a good month so far but we have lost the sunshine today :( The forecast was wind turning sw and dropping by lunch time so by the time I got to The Dip carpark at 10 it was pretty full !!! but had we made the right decision coming here with sw being a bit off - would the Fludgers or The Manor have been better ? but we decided to give it ago here and because of the rain clouds passing over the wind was always going to be up and down :( People were coming in and changing down to 6m, it didn't look that windy on the water but I went with 6.4 and after a wobbly start off the beach I hit the wind a 100m or so off the beach and the sail was ok but the sea was very big making going fast very hard :( I beat out about a mile and had a good reach back :) My wetsuit was tight on my wrists restricting my grip so I had to come ashore. After a short rest I had a few more runs before the rain came and the wind went more off and dropped :( Everyone packed up, some headed to the Fludgers to look but it was very up and down there too and several big black clouds coming I decided to call it a day - not the best session :(
