4th September 2005 Windsurfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 7-8 Surf / Sea State: Choppy Air Temperature: Warm Sea Temperature: Warm Weather: Sunny Spells Max Speed: Fast (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: Al and Impy were on 5.7s when we got there at 8:15. But we thought that looked too much. I measured 30 knots, so we rigged our 4.0 for me and a 3.4 for Sarah. We went out and had a completely out of control blast across and back. As we got back we dumped our kit on the beach and were discussing the fact that the wind had picked up. I went to get my indicator as Al and Impy came in. The wind was now 40 knots, so Sarah and I hid in the car and waited for it to calm down. Eventually Al & Impy went back out and seemed to be managing ok, (but they are both better than us). We watched them for a bit, and they were making some nice gybes, so we decided it was time to get back out there. It was still blowing 30+ knots and we had no trouble getting going on our 4.0 & 3.4. The sea state had flattened off a bit as well, so we started to blast about near the shore. I was making a lot of waterstarts, (mostly after failed tacks and gybes, but also after a number of horrible catapults). We sailed until the sand bar appeared and the run on the tide was getting difficult. Ynyslas is crazy on a North-Easterly…. :) and this is still summer :) |
