28th May 2008 Windsurfing: Felixstowe-Dip Wind Direction: ESE Wind Stength: 18-25 Surf / Sea State: big and messy Air Temperature: 14 Sea Temperature: 13 Weather: cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered: Got on the water about 2 and sailed for a while with 6m and 18knots away from the shore wind shadow. Sea was quite choppy with some rollers but enjoyable once I got used ot it. The wind went mental and I got ashore well upwind after not daring to bear off. Massive dumpers and I got blown off to watch my gear washed ashore and lucky to only break one batten, Wind moderated and I sailed back to the Dip to see Pete (and Sally) rigging 4.5m. Being heftier (ie fatter) I rigged 5.2m onto the small board as wind picked up again to 25knots (ffsc). Very dodgy getting out through dumpers into a big sea with messy chop. A bit nervous sailing as I felt any moment I was going to get thrown through my sail, but I survived and enjoyed it. It was great to go up and down the rollers and even take off a little, though I still cannot jump. xComing in was fantastic down some of teh wave faces which were steep enough to drop rather than sail down. Came ashore to see Paul rigging so went out again; with a dodgy launch through the shore dump. Sea was much better and less choppy getting close to high tide, then came in as I was getting tired after 3.5 hours on the beach and probably two and half hours sailing in challenging and tiring conditions. Ovell a fantastic day, just wished I could sail for longer. |
