1st May 2009 Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: se Wind Stength: 10/12 Surf / Sea State: slight Air Temperature: 16 Sea Temperature: 10 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 17 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 21 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) With only three children to look after this afternoon I was clear to have an early afternoon session with a good breeze forecast!! On reaching The Dip at 1 o clock my meter was reading 12/14 so things were looking good.I rigged the 8.5 on the carve but by the time I got on the water the wind had dropped !!! So I returned to the beach and rigged the 9.4 and went out on my raceboard.By now the wind had dropped light and it was slow going even with the centreboard down !!! With the wind onshore I headed for the R.Orwell where the breeze increased a little so I carried on over the shipping lane and ended up on the beach with the sunken barges at Horsey Island way past Dovercourt.This is a mega place to sail and would be great on a slalom board at low water where you could get some good speeds,the only problem is getting there as a boat is the best bet as you have to sail over the shipping channel !!! So a nice 2hrs 40 mins out - 5 stars for weather and only 1 star for wind !!! ps.I saw 3 seals !!!! |
