Windsurfing: Portland Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Launched from the new sailing acadamy. Not the easiet of places to launch
in a SW, or judge the wind as its in a bit of wind shadow. Thought that the
6.5 on the stoke would be enough. Sadly just not quite enough wind. Came
back in to get the 8.0 on the new mast and a big fin. Blasted backwards and
forwards making loads of gound upwind, then flying downwind to buzz Jo on
her dinghy sailing course. As the wind increased came back in and grabbed
the 6.5 again. Pushed upwind and went racing all the other guys closer to
the beach. Although I was dropping some of my gybes, I was pretty much the
quickest on the water that day. Another Stoke was out, but I think I was
just a little better than the other sailor. Nearly had a crash with one of
the acadamy instructers, I was on starboard and tried to hold my course,
going as high upwind as possible. Unfortunatly he decided that because of
the other traffic on the water he would do the same. At the last minute I
went downwind, as he did the same. Not sure how we missed but damn close.
He apolagised later on, but no harm done.
