25th October 2008 Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: ssw Wind Stength: 15/20 Surf / Sea State: choppy Air Temperature: 13 Sea Temperature: 14 Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: 25.8 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 37.4 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Considering I have been full of cold and had a dodgy knee since returning from Turkey I was not overly keen on jumping into the cold North Sea !!!! But the sun was shining and it was'nt too cold so after breakfast at the dip I rigged my favourite combination of the 7.5 on the xantos,which again proved perfect for most of the day.A little under at times to start with and a little over in the afternoon as the wind increased,but to only have one sail to put away in the cold at the end of the day is a bonus!!!! I started off blasting past the kiters by the ferry rivermouth where it was abit wild as the river current hit the open sea !!! After 25 n/m and with the wind increasing I returned to the dip to change down as sailers were using 5/6m sails but after a short break and with Mark S struggling to waterstart his multi-cammed race sail (a wide luff full of water is a nightmare) I sailed out to see if he was alright and found the wind had eased down a fraction and had some fast and furious reaching.A great day out on the water with alot of windsurfers/kiters out !!!! but the water is definately getting colder - must hunt out the hat and gloves.I had a quick blast on Marks new wave board a Starboard Kombat 117 !!!! with 6m a lively board well suited to the conditions. |
