Missed out on the strong winds of yesterday, might have gone to Southend
but our son Rob was up for the weekend so stayed in Felixstowe and had a
lovely time with Rob and his girlfriend Hannah:) Rob and I went down to the
Ferry beach to chat to his kite mates and although the sea conditions were
good, the sw wind was a bit off making it gusty close in and then it rained
so we went home. The forecast was promising today with no rain and 20 mph
of wind, Mag and I went to the Remembrance Day Service on the seafront
while Rob went to Trimley go have ago on a trials bike!!! Then after lunch
we headed to the beach and the wind had returned after a lull! I even
rigged a 6.5 which was a mistake as I struggled to get going but it was
great to be out on the water with kiter Rob who sailed up to met me :) I
then came ashore and changed to 7.8 but I thought I had made a mistake as
the wind picked up but it was short lived and I had a few nice runs through
the rough river-mouth and then broad for a mile down the coast.The wind
then dropped and we packed up as it got dark :( I used my new Mystic wet
suit for the first time and was toasty:) It's looking to be windy all week
but I am working!
PS - we were sitting chatting on the beach after the session when a stupid
dog walker let his dog run amok running right across a mates sail!!! We had
a few words after I told him to keep his dog under control and that he
wouldn't like a bill for a new sail!!!!
