1st day in Morocco:
Arrived 3pm to be greeted by no wind. :(
But whilst taking a walk along the beach it seemed to be picking up, enough to get me out on my 5.8. So I pegged it back to the hotel
and hastily rigged up.
Of course by the time I hit the water it had dropped again. I blobbed around and intentionally drifted downwind to where small
waist-high groundswell-driven waves were coming through in sets. A few attempts at pumping onto them were fairly unsuccessful, but then
the wind did pick up enough to get me planing solidly and I managed a couple of short rides. It didn't last for long though (i.e. about
15 minutes...), leaving me with a long walk back to the hotel, fortunately with Rod's help (cheers rod).
A pretty crap session but at least I got out on the water on our first afternoon in Morocco.
