Windsurf *** - mainly cloudy with drizzle
Funny forecast, a good breeze starting SW but turning west in the after
with a wet morning which rather put me off! Then a winger said he was
heading to The Manor at 10,30 so when the light rain stopped I decided to
head down to Squiz Lane arriving at 11.10 with some brief glimpses of sun.
I quickly set up my foil board but the drizzle returned while I was rigging
my 5.75 and I hate sailing in the rain but luckily the rain stopped as I
headed out to join the winger with a wind WSW a tad off and had my usual
long runs out, once again it was smooth in and quite big out by the
shipping channel. Al Wiz then appeared on his 130 lt. and 7.5 just as the
wind decided to go westerly, I continued saing and had a few nice runs in
front of Landguard beach before deciding to call it a day and made it back
to my launch beach with no problems only losing the wind a 100m out. Had a
nice chat with Al before heading for home as the sky started to clear and
the sun made an appearance.
Walk *** sunny periods.
I learned from Mag we were picking up our Granddaughter, the lovely Maeva
from playschool at 3.30 so I joined Mag in the walk there! She is a ray of
sunshine in a somewhat depressing world and as it was a nice afternoon now
we decided to walk down to the beach even if Maeva was not too keen! It was
very pleasant walking along the prom and up through the Spa Gardens and
home for yummy toast with a cuppa!
