Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 16+ Surf / Sea State: choppy Air Temperature: 20 Sea Temperature: 16 Weather: cloudy Max Speed: 24.6 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 23.5 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Not the best time to go out as the tide was approaching high and it looked like rain,but we had family for tea so I rigged 7.5 on the
Xantos and it was just right for most of the 1 hr 47 mins I was out.I had a quick broad reach to the ferry river mouth then a 5 mile
beat to the old windsurfing hut end to check the work to the new sea defences.Then I turned and had the best reach back,sailing very
broad,parallel to the beach it would have been 5***** for that run alone but when I got back the wind dropped and the picked so I had a
job to sheet in!!!! I then had a tea at my friends camper got cold decided against rigging a smaller sail so gave up for the day.A
quick trip to Ipswich to pick up Auntie Diane,a stop off on the way back to buy a new Gill Bouyancy aid and then to the cliff top to
watch Rob having a ball in the flat water of the river as the tide was very low.
