Checked Landguard weather station first thing and it looked marginal at
best so I was going to give today a miss but then super keen Robert said he
was heading over to Levington at 11.15 so I decided to join him with Mag
assaying she would bike over for lunch:) On arriving at the marina it was
very light but then there were a few gusts to tempt us to rig big and head
out. Lightweight Robert had a few flying runs but I did not get close to
getting out of the water, certainly not helped by my heavy old sail! So, we
floundered back and forth for an hour hoping for a gust just getting cold
so decided to call it a day. I got back to the beach just as Mag arrived on
her bike. I then headed to the shower which was the best part of the
session and quickly warmed up my feet before returning to the van for
lunch. For a gloomy grey light wind day there was a variety of boats out
including Swainy in a rib, he looked as cold as me! Still several windy
days to come but tomorrow looking cold so perhaps will get out again on
Saturday?
