6th December 2015 Windsurfing: Felixstowe Fludyers Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: F5/6 Surf / Sea State: rough Air Temperature: warmish Sea Temperature: cool Weather: ok some sun Max Speed: 0 Distance Covered: 0 Been reading the blogs about great sailings so had itchy feet having missed most of it, not sailed since Oct. This was another of my shit decisions. Arrive 11 ish and it wasn't that windy. 7 out, Ian Maker Squiz Strawbs Pete C Andy M Chris P me. Sea looked rough. Part rigged 7.3 then the wind came back so rigged 6.7 Hellcat with 125 Hawk and a stiff slalom 42 fin. That was just about the worst kit that could be used in the rough water! I flew off the beach, which didn't seem that windy, but it was a good force further out! Pete had warned me to flatten the sail, but I didn't bother. I dare not bare off and wiped out for the first turn. It took several attempts to water start and not get throw over the top. Regretfully my windsurf fitness was just not good enough for conditions and the kit was set up for good speed, which was totally wrong for the conditions. Called it a day. I must admit as the tide turned the sea flattened off and the wind eased. I should have sailed then as Steve and Pete were sailing well Maker Ian etc had a good day, and it was warm. Couldn't be bothered so Packed up and went for a nice spa and wondered why the fcuk I went windsurfing today! Need some flat water sailing to get my fitness back, and as I am not going El Medano this year could be last sail this year? |
