Mood: waiting for wind
11th November 2006
Windsurfing: Cooden
Wind Direction: W - WNW

Surf / Sea State: flat with some swell
Air Temperature: chilly with a little
Sea Temperature: fine
Weather: bright
Max Speed: 24.6 (knots - unless stated otherwise)
Distance Covered:

Dentist visit first thing ... finishing off the root canal treatment, but surprisingly painless and no need for face altering injections.

Escaped and bolted for Cooden. Arrived 11ish to find it a desolate spot with just some fella out on a kayak. Checked the windspeed and was getting 13-18 knots on the windy at waters edge, which was a bit sheltered as wind was cross-crossoff.

Rigged 7.0m & Manta 75 (just in case it went proper offshore NW) and went out as the others rocked up and rigged up. Good blast though at times pretty well powered up. Had a bit of a wipe-out that can be claimed as part of forward loop training and ended up further underwater than experienced before from such acrobatics

Opted to change down ... 5.6m Remedy & 3S 97 ... couple runs on that while more new arrivals rigged up and then it all went just like that.

A session spoiled by just one thing ... not the big crash, not the wind dying when it did .... but by the fact that I wore a pair of boots for the first time in ages

Good luck to those who can sneak out in the week .. hope it comes through for you, though if it comes really late ... say next saturday & sunday, I\\\'ll not be offering any complaints
