With a best friend seriously ill and our lovely Granddaughter spending the
night in hospital I was not really inn the mood for another gusty windsurf
foil on the Orwell but with our van in the garage again tomorrow I forced
myself to head over to the marina. I arrived before 11 and the water was
still pretty low but there was a little more wind than yesterday so I took
a chance with my 5.75 which was perfect in the gusts but once again there
was loads of lulls, I am due a decent session now as I have had 6 poor ones
this year already:( I launched by the marina entrance and sailed straight
out to deep water and spent most of the session sailing towards the docks,
I did have a few good runs in amongst the floundering, I did get a couple
of year PB’s before the wind went light and I slowly beat back and called
it a day, the highlight of the session was spotting a huge flock of Dunlins
flying over the Orwell. Pack up, quick shower to warm my feet up and head
for in time for a quick walk down to Felixstowe prom with Mag as the sun
was out!
